MOTORISTS are warned that one side of the A494 River Dee Bridge will be closed tonight (Friday, November 8).
Traffic Wales has said that the bridge crossing at Queensferry will be closed eastbound between 9pm and 6am.
The reason for the closure is to allow maintenance work to take place.
Motorists face a lengthy diversion - being diverted off the A55 at J33 (Northop/Flint) and travelling along the A5119 to Flint and then along the A548 coast road, over the Flintshire Bridge and finally re-joining the A494 at the England-Wales border.
Traffic Wales is urging motorists to allow extra time for their journey as a result.
