TheA489,officially known as theNewtown to Machynlleth Trunk Roadin Wales, is a trunk road in theUnited Kingdomrunning fromCraven Arms,ShropshiretoMachynlleth,Powysand crossing theWales-England border.
The road starts about one mile north of Craven Arms. From here it travels throughLydham,Churchstoke,Newtown,Caersws,Cemmaes Roadand Machynlleth.
Between Caersws and Cemmaes Road, the road appears to 'disappear', where it is travelling with theA470,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.[1]
