Local motorists are being reminded about essential improvement work on the A55 which are likely to create travel disruption and delays from next Monday.

Work is needed on the Kneeshaw Lupton underbridge near Junction 23 Llanddulas on the westbound carriageway from 17th September.

It will see all surfacing removed, waterproofing of the bridge deck and the replacement of bridge joints.

This work requires a full closure of the westbound carriageway in the area with a contraflow in place which will see a single traffic lane in each direction around the clock for up to five weeks.  The waterproofing needs to be laid in reasonable weather conditions which is why it has been programmed to take place during this period.

All work will be completed by midday on 18 October at the very latest, which is before the beginning of the half term holidays.

Due to the nature of the engineering works and to ensure safety, 1.5 metre high boards will be installed with work taking place on the other side of these.

Similar works on the eastbound carriageway are set to take place later next year.
