Monmouthshire County Council gets £8m in transport funds
This money, which cannot be used for road maintenance, will be used for various projects across the county.
The funding comes from the Welsh Government's Active Travel Fund, Local Transport Fund, Resilient Roads Fund, Road Safety Capital & Revenue, and Safe Routes in Communities.
The projects set to benefit from this funding include bus infrastructure, road safety training, 20mph infrastructure, collision reduction schemes, and active travel.
The majority of the funding, £6.5 million, comes from the Active Travel Fund and will be used for the Abergavenny to Llanfoist project.
Councillor Catrin Maby, cabinet member for climate change and the environment, said: "It is encouraging to have agreed funding for so many transport projects across Monmouthshire.
"Each one will help to make transport more efficient for communities in all corners of the county."
Councillor Sara Burch, cabinet member for rural affairs, housing and tourism, added: "We know how important this scheme is to provide safe connections within the community."
