Notes

|
The A483 is a major road in the United Kingdom, running from Swansea in Wales to Chester in England.
From the M4 motorway Junction 42, just east of Swansea, it travels west towards Swansea where it turns to a northwesterly direction towards the M4 motorway junction 47 at Penllergaer where there is a break with the rest of the road. The A483 begins again at the final M4 motorway junction, Junction 49, where it continues via Ammanford, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Llanwrtyd Wells, Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells. It then reaches Newtown where it passes under the Cambrian Line at the Dolfor Road Railway Bridge. This bridge, being 13' 3" has been hit by high vehicles on many it occasions. The road then continues to Welshpool before entering England to bypass Oswestry before diving back into Wales past Wrexham and re-entering England to end at Chester. It is planned to make the route from Ruabon to Oswestry a dual carriageway, as part of a plan to dual the route from Wrexham to Shrewsbury (part of which is the A5 road) in an effort to increase transport links
