Residents in Wales are frustrated as a bridge closed for urgent repairs in 2021 is still not replaced, leaving them cut off. The Labour council's failure to fix the bridge has trapped cul-de-sac residents for five years. Unhappy residents claim that multimillion-pound improvements to a busy motorway junction have made no difference. Additionally, a small train station's footbridge, costing as much as the Empire State Building and taking ten times as long to build, has not opened after 10 years at a cost of £9.5m, surpassing the construction time of iconic landmarks like Blackpool Tower and Tower Bridge.
