TheA4060, also known as theEast of Abercynon to East of Dowlais Trunk Road,[1] is a trunk road inWales.
The road starts atA470 The Pentrebach Roundabout South ofMerthyr Tydfil. This first stretch is a 3 lane single carriageway road that was the old A470. It then comes to a roundabout by the Hoover Plant and The Premier Inn where there are links toAberfan and Troedyrhiw via theA4054, Merthyr Town Centre via the A4054 (the old A470). The A4060 then leads to another roundabout a few yards up with turn offs to The Triangle Business Park and the Co Op Supermarket. After this roundabout the road becomes a dual carriageway with quite a steep Hill Climb. After about 3 miles there is another roundabout which has links to Mountain Hare andDowlais Ind Est and theA4102. The other link is a Mountain Road to Cwm Bargoed and Fochriw.
After the Roundabout the dual carriageway continues to Dowlais Top where there are links to Dowlais via the A4102,Neath (Brecon A470) via theA465,Abergavenny via theA465 and Fochriw and ASDA Supermarket
Before the new A470 dual carriageway was built between Cefn Coed Y Cymmer and Pentrebach the A4060 was a main alternative route for people coming from the North (Brecon A470) and the West (Neath) via the A465 to avoid traffic hold ups in Merthyr Tydfil town centre.
