Details of the overnight closures, along with diversions in connection to the ongoing work to strengthen retaining walls on the A5 to the east of the town, were posted to the Llangollen Rural Community Council Facebook page on Tuesday (March 31).

Traffic will be diverted via the A539 and A483 and Traffic Wales warns the closures will result in potential traffic congestion on the A5 and adjacent local roads.

 

They say the retaining wall works, which have been going on for many months, are due to be completed on April 14 and that the closures are required to resurface the carriageway.

They add that it would not have been possible to carry this out under the usual lane closures due to the narrowness of the A5 at this point.

Traffic Wales also says the overnight working could result in higher levels of noise for which it apologises in advance.

Meanwhile, night-time closures of Castle Street will continue until this Friday, April 1.
