Summary
Project status: under construction
Region/county: Conwy
Start date: summer 2020
End date: autumn 2020
What we are doing
Improving traffic flows, safety and journey time reliability across the roundabout of junction 19, A55 Glan Conwy as well as improving active travel links across the junction.
Why we are doing it
This scheme (known locally as Black Cat) is part of the all Wales pinch point programme that will reduce congestion at junctions and improve journey time reliability and safety on the motorway and trunk road network.
This scheme will be delivered by the North and Mid-Wales Trunk Road Agent (NMWTRA) who work on behalf of Welsh Government and commission local consultants and contractors where possible. We will work with NMWTRA and Conwy County Borough Council to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum during construction of the scheme.
