A494 closures start next week to fix 1,400 potholes
A major programme to repair potholes on some of Wales' main roads gets underway in Flintshire next week. More than 1,400 potholes are to be fixed on a 5km stretch of the A494 Mold bypass. The work forms part of a £25m road maintenance scheme announced by the Welsh Government earlier this month. In total, work is to take place at 22 road sections on the national network. The initiative aims to improve more than 100km of road whilst removing around 30,000 potholes. The repair blitz is also targeting the A470, where more than 1,000 potholes are fixed along a 3.4km stretch near Caersws, Powys. Resurfacing work means disruption for drivers, and the A494 Mold bypass is to be closed initially for five nights from June 2. The closures, for 'essential carriageway maintenance' will be in place between 7pm and 6am each night. Traffic will be diverted via A5119, A541 and B444. Another series of night-time closures are scheduled from June 12. During the works, day time operations will continue with convoy traffic management in place.
