Wrexham: Roadworks part of 'multi-million' pound package

Last month, essential roadworks began in Rhostyllen causing 'major delays' for motorists and  public transport.

A diversion is in place through the village, turning by the Co-Op, passing the rugby pitch then going over the flyover and turning left towards Croesfoel Roundabout.

SG Estates which is responsible for the construction of the new housing estate along the A5152 has confirmed the roadworks are being carried out as part of their new development works.

A spokesperson said: "As part of our detailed planning permission, we are committed to enhancing the local infrastructure adjacent to our development.

"We are paying for all the highway improvements adjacent to our site, which include the construction of new pedestrian crossings, improved road and footpath visibilities and safer bus stop facilities. 

"There will be some inconveniences to road traffic users over the summer months, until the works are completed. We will do our upmost to keep delays to a minimum.

"Once this stage of the works are completed, it will form part of a multi-million pound package of improvements we are committed to providing for the local community."

A Wrexham Council spokesperson added: "We are working with the developer and traffic management company to keep disruption to a minimum, but as with any roadworks there will be delays and if possible motorists should try and avoid the area."

Arriva Wales Buses has announced their 2, 2A, 2C, 3, 4A, 4C, 5 and 5C services will be impacted by the diversion during this time.

The work is expected to be completed by early September with an exact date yet to be confirmed.
