A55 drivers warned to expect 'occasional' delays this weekend
A55 drivers are being warned of occasional disruption while work takes place on a railway bridge in Conwy. Essential maintenance is scheduled this weekend on the bridge parallel to the Conwy Road crossing which carries traffic between Llandudno Junction and Conwy Town. The work is taking place overnight, starting on Saturday, June 7, and running until Monday morning, June 9. Maintenance staff will be on site between 10pm and 6am both nights. During these times, traffic between the Conwy Tunnel and junction 18 for Llandudno Junction could potentially be affected. Traffic Wales has warned of 'occasional traffic stops and rolling roadblocks' while the work takes place. Nearby, work has also begun on a new off-road path to connecting Llandudno Junction and Glan Conwy. The 2km active travel route is designed to make journeys easier, safer and more accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users, and people with prams and mobility scooters. Active travel improvements have already been carried out by Welsh Government at Junction 18 of the A55. These are being linked to Glan Conwy via a three metre-wide lit path around the RSPB Conwy bird reserve. The route will also connect to the bridge to the Cob for onward travel to Conwy.
