Nine weeks of major resurfacing work planned for A483

Major resurfacing works lasting for nine weeks are to take place on the A483 trunk route starting next month.

According to Traffic Wales, the agency responsible, the work is necessary to replace the road surface that has reached the end of its serviceable life from south of J7 Rossett to the Wales/England border.

The majority of works will be carried out under contraflow which will allow the A483 to remain open to one lane of traffic in either direction.

There will be full overnight closures at certain times to install and dismantle the traffic management system.

The programme of work is:

Week 1 (Sun 05/02/23 – Sat 11/02/23) 

February 5th and 6th

• Daytime single lane closures in both directions. 
• Overnight single lane closure northbound.
• Full overnight closure of the southbound carriageway, including Junction 7 southbound slip roads. Local diversion in place.

Week 2 (Sun 12/02/23 – Sat 18/02/23)
