Conwy County Borough Council has announced that refurbishment work at the Llandudno Junction flyover is expected to be completed earlier than anticipated.

The flyover will be closed to traffic for 16 days from Monday 19 June while contractors complete the ongoing refurbishment work.

This is to allow safe working for reconstructing the road and replacing the bridge expansion joint by the flyover bus stops.

The Council is working with the North Mid Wales Trunk Road Agent to use the closure to carry out other essential maintenance along Conway Road. This will avoid any further road closures on this stretch in the near future.

During the closure, traffic will be diverted via the A55 and Conwy tunnel, with vehicle access to Conwy via junction 17. Non-motorway traffic restricted from using the A55 will need to travel via the A470 to cross at Tal y Cafn or find alternative means of transport.

There will be road access from the Weekly News roundabout to Deganwy, Llandudno Junction and the Tesco roundabout. Traffic from the Tesco roundabout will continue to be diverted via A55.

The Council is arranging a shuttle bus between Conwy and Llandudno Junction while the flyover is closed, as timetabled buses will not be servicing Conwy. School bus transport will continue to operate, learners will be informed directly of any minor timetable changes.

Access will be maintained for pedestrians and cyclists through the site from Conwy to the steps at the Llandudno Junction end of the site, near Lidl.

Work on the flyover was scheduled to finish on 20 July, but is now expected to finish earlier.
