Question
What strategy is in place to mitigate congestion on the A55 in the event of the Conwy tunnel being closed?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
There is a long-standing established diversion route for when the Conwy Tunnel is closed. It utilises the A470 and A5 trunk road network. The diversion plan is shared with the Local Resilience Forum which includes the relevant Local Authorities. However, drivers with local knowledge will use local roads and drivers will also use their SatNavs.
