A major road has closed suddenly after a retaining wall collapsed into the river running beside it. A stretch of the A470 between Carno and Dolfach, north west of Talerddig, is currently closed.
Diversions are in place in the area after a wall holding up the road crumbled into the river that runs alongside it towards southern Gwynedd. The edge of the road has also partly collapsed.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Traffic Wales said: "We’ve had a retaining wall on the A470 collapse. As a safety measure the A470 will be closed immediately (north) west of Talerddig, between Carno and Dolfach until further notice.
"Local diversions in place. We will provide more updates in due course."
