WORKS on the Four Great Highways project in Llangollen has been completed, Denbighshire Council has confirmed.
The project was part of investment by the UK Government that was secured through a joint application between Denbighshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council for the former Clwyd South Constituency, in which £3.8 million was allocated to Denbighshire to invest in the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding areas.
The intention of the work was to promote and enhance the Four Great Highways of Llangollen, by providing landscape and engineering improvements that would improve accessibility and visibility of attractions within the town through enhanced signage and wayfinding.
Construction for the new stairs commenced on May 7 with completion being pushed back on two occasions, once in June and then in August.

Barry Mellor, Leader Member for Environment and Transport said: “I am happy to hear that works to complete the Four Great Highways project has now come to an end.
"We hope that these improvements to accessibility, interpretation and signage will help promote Llangollen’s historical sites and encourage more residents and visitors to spend more time there”.
