Planned around-the-clock resurfacing work on the A483 near Wrexham will now be restricted to overnight only in a bid to avoid disruption for road users, said Economy Secretary Ken Skates.
The original proposal from the North Wales Trunk Road Agency to begin next week was to run 24/7 contraflow between J5 (Mold Road) and J6 (Gresford), with associated slip road closures, over a 6 to 8 week period – allowing for much needed resurfacing work to protect the road in the longer term.
Having considered the concerns of the local community and the local authority, however, the Economy Secretary has determined that disruption would be too great and that a less disruptive, medium term solution should be pursued.
Seven day-a-week work on overnight resurfacing, which will protect the road in the medium term whilst allowing traffic to flow as normal during the day, will now take place.
