A STRETCH of the A483 in Wrexham is set for nine weeks of road works.

Traffic Wales has said that the major resurfacing works to replace the road surface that has "reached the end of its serviceable life" will be between J7 Rossett to the Wales/England border.

The majority of works, which start next month, will be carried out under contraflow which will allow the A483 to remain open to one lane of traffic in either direction. There will be full overnight closures at certain times to install and dismantle the traffic management system. 

The work will begin on February 5, and it is hoped it will finish by April 6. 

February work schedule: 

Week 1 (5/2/23 – 11/2/23)

February 5 and 6:

  • Daytime single lane closures in both directions. 
  • Overnight single lane closure northbound.
  • Full overnight closure of the southbound carriageway, including Junction 7 southbound slip roads. Local diversion in place.

February 7 onwards:

  • 24-hour contraflow, i.e. one lane in each direction. Junction 7 northbound on and off slips will be closed during this time.
