River Corridor Enhancements  Once completed to the acquired specification, the River Taff Corridor Enhancement will be a great asset to Merthyr Tydfil providing a semi-natural corridor and riverscape through the heart of Merthyr Tydfil.
The project will be delivered in several phases to reach the desired feature which will in turn provide residents and visitors alike with an ambient and natural surrounding in close proximity from the flourishing town centre.
The first phase is complete which consisted of works to a derelict site at Dixon Street, new railings, paving, lighting, seating and landscaping improvements and the second phase is virtually complete with the installation of the fish pass and the construction of a viewing platform. Works to the square adjacent to the shopping centre bridge is to be achieved by Spring 2008.
At present, additional funding is being sought from DE&T (Department for Economy and Transport) to implement a further phase of works to improve the corridor from the Town Centre to Rhydycar and further develop the linkages from the Welsh Assembly Government Building and the Orbit Business and Innovation Centre.
