Vyrnwy live updates

We'll do all we can to keep things flowing...

Thanks for your patience, we really do understand that construction activity and roadworks can be a pain. We'll do all we can to minimise disruption and keep traffic moving as much as possible while our teams are working on the Vyrnwy Aqueduct Modernisation Programme.

We may only need to set up simple give-way traffic management to provide a safe environment when creating our site accesses or receiving deliveries. If the working areas are located on the road, this may require temporary lane or road closures.  In most instances we can use traffic lights to keep communities, road users and our teams safe. The table below provides further details about the proposed traffic management requirements.

All businesses will be open as usual while we're working. Further information and current status on our programme for the Malpas to Tarporley phases of work can be found here.
