Cllr Mandy Owen, Torfaen’s executive member for the environment, said: “The footway at the front of Portland Buildings has been reinstated and the hole in the road has now been backfilled. The first layer of tarmac has been laid and the final layer will go in later this afternoon (Tuesday).
“There is still debris on the carriageway so the road will be swept and allowed to cool before reopening.
“Given the depth the contractor went down, Highways Officers will return to undertake regular monitoring of the road surface.”
