11 Miles
“11 Miles” documents the construction of the A465 Heads of the Valleys section 5 and 6 that connects Hirwaun to Dowlais in South Wales.
Intended to better service the Welsh Valleys, the development promises faster connections to hospitals, businesses and tourist attractions. It also means employment for local community, including job opportunities during the construction itself. However, over two decades in the making, the development has been affected by the UK’s departure from the EU and subsequent withdrawal of funding instrumental in building the previous sections
With the construction still unfinished and its cost tripled from original budget (£560 million), the project has been the subject of debate and controversy.
‘11 Miles’ offers a look at the landscape and the people at the heart of it.
