Bridge repairs over River Dee mean road closure
A road will be closed for urgent bridge deck repairs over the River Dee aqueduct near Chirk.
Urgent repairs will mean overnight closures in both directions between tomorrow from 8pm until Saturday at 6am on the A483 between junction one and the Halton roundabout.
Traffic Wales, which is undertaking the work, said traffic will be diverted via the A539 Ruabon, Llangollen and A5 to Halton roundabout.
They added that the works could result in a higher than usual level of noise at intervals, and Traffic Wales said they apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
Traffic will be monitored on the diversion route to identify any problems that may arise.
The contractor, Alun Griffiths Construction Limited, will be undertaking essential work to repair the bridge deck which crosses over the River Dee. Drivers of abnormal loads and emergency service vehicles, including police, fire and ambulance, are being advised to use the diversion route.
The A483 goes from Chirk to Wrexham, passing through Halton, Ruabon, up to the Welsh border.
The route from Halton roundabout to junction one is about five miles – this will be closed from May 6 to May 8 in both directions.
