Travel disruption warning as six weeks of roadworks planned for stretch of the A55

Plans have been outlined for repairs to take place on a section of the A55[1]. It is set to bring around six weeks worth of closures that drivers need to know about in advance.

Traffic Wales described the planned work on their website. It will bring disruption and delays to a section on the Wales/England border.

Traffic Wales said: "Essential work to repair and replace the underlying concrete bays and resurface between Junction 36 (Broughton[2]) and the border between England and Wales.

"Works will begin on the eastbound side of the carriageway followed by westbound. Before the main works, junction 36A Broughton Retail Park slip roads will also be repaired and resurfaced."

A timeline has been set out detailing when each stage of the works will go ahead. It also includes what impact will be had on motorists using that section of the busy North Wales Expressway through lane closures.

Preparatory Works:

  • Friday, January 26 to Monday, January 29 - Junction 36A Broughton retail park eastbound on-slip and lane closed overnight from 20:00.
  • Friday, February 2 to Wednesday, February 7 - J36A Broughton retail park westbound off-slip and lane closed overnight from 20:00 – 06:00 on Feb 2, 5 & 6 . A full 24-hour closure will be in place between February 3 and 5 .
