MAJOR resurfacing works on a Wrexham road have been extended until the end of next month.

Work on the A483 between Junction 6 Gresford and 7 Rossett was due to be completed by November 14.

However, Traffic Wales has confirmed that the end date has now been pushed back to at least November 26.

They say this is due to 'unforeseen site issues'.

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.

Traffic Management of the roadworks is as follows:

  • Contraflow (all traffic on southbound carriageway) until November 7
  • Overnight full carriageway closure on November 7 and 25.
  • Northbound on and off slips at J6 will be closed until November 7.
  • A483 Southbound works between junction Junction 7 Rossett and junction 6 Gresford
  • Contraflow (all traffic on northbound carriageway) from November 9-25
  • Overnight full carriageway closure on November 8 and 26.
  • Southbound on and off slips at J6 will be closed from November 8-25.
  • Daytime lane closures A483 in both directions on November 8 and 26.
