Public Invited To View Plans For A55 Junctions Upgrade

Motorist and road users are being invited to submit their views over a junction improvement project on the A55 at Junctions 15 Llanfairfechan and 16 Penmaenmawr.

A total of nine options are being considered for the scheme; five for Junction 15 and four for junction 16.

The new junctions will help result in safer travel for road users along the A55, and for people using the route to travel to and from Dwygyfylchi, Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr. It will also improve journey times and the road's resilience.

Public consultation exhibitions are now being held at the following locations for people to see the options being considered in detail and the timescales involved;

• St Gwynin's Parish Hall, Dwygyfylchi on 12 June

• Penmaenmawr Community Centre on 13 June

• Llanfairfechan Community Centre on 14 June

Economy and Transport Secretary, Ken Skates, said: "The A55 Junction 15-16 improvement scheme is a significant development in North Wales and a prime example of the action we are taking to invest in and improve our transport infrastructure.

"The A55 is a key strategic route linking Wales with Ireland, England and the rest of Europe and this scheme will deliver many benefits including better traffic flows and journey time reliability as well as improving safety.

"People's views on the options being considered will form a vital part of the decision process and I encourage everyone with an interest to contribute to this consultation."
