Closure of A483 viaducts leads to heavy traffic in town

* Congestion around the Mill Street/Castle Street junction.

The volume of traffic passing through Llangollen has increased today (Sunday) as the town becomes part of a diversionary route following the closure of the Dee & Ceiriog viaducts on the A483 due to expected high winds.

Traffic Wales are warning of the diversion in a Facebook post which says: "Due to extremely high winds that will be impacted by #StormIsha the Dee and Ceiriog viaducts are now CLOSED."

The two viaducts are due to re-open at 6am tomorrow (Monday) morning.

In Llangollen extra traffic can be seen along the A5 and A539. There is an additional problem with traffic lights operating on Mill Street, near the bottom of Wharf Hill.  

* Heavy traffic along the A5 Regent Street.

* Traffic lights on Mill Street are adding to the congestion.
