Road in England and Wales
The A489 , officially known as the Newtown to Machynlleth Trunk Road in Wales, is a trunk road in the
United Kingdom running from
Craven Arms ,
Shropshire to
Machynlleth ,
Powys and crossing the
Wales-England border .
The road starts about one mile north of Craven Arms. From here it travels through
Lydham ,
Churchstoke ,
Newtown ,
Caersws ,
Cemmaes Road and Machynlleth.
Between Caersws and Cemmaes Road, the road appears to 'disappear', where it is travelling with the
A470 , which takes priority. The same happens in Lydham, albeit for a much shorter distance, where the A488 takes priority.
A new section of road, the Newtown Bypass, was completed in 2019.
