Does the Welsh Government support the building of a Chepstow by-pass?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport | Answered on 25/09/2026
I recognise the significant congestion challenges facing Chepstow residents, businesses and commuters, particularly given the town’s border location. A by-pass of Chepstow would be a matter for Monmouthshire County Borough Council. Should Welsh Government funding for a by-pass be sought, this would need to be prioritised through the Regional Transport Fund and be developed in line with the Welsh Transport Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG)
