MAJOR resurfacing works are due to take place in the Wrexham area.

Between October 11 and November 14, full resurfacing works will take place on the A483 Junction 6, Gresford interchange to Junction 7, Rossett interchange.

Works will take place on the northbound and southbound carriageway together with concrete slab repairs and drainage works.

A statement from Traffic Wales read: "The main works will be carried out under contraflow which will allow the A483 to remain open to one lane of traffic in either direction. This will enable the works to be carried out on the closed carriageway efficiently and safely. There will be full overnight closures at certain times within the programme, to enable the installation and dismantling of the traffic management system.

"This project will address the deteriorating condition of the carriageway to eliminate the current ongoing and increasing requirement for reactive repairs. This will ultimately mean less disruption for motorists in future and will deliver a safe, quiet, high-quality road surface for many years to come."
