A story in the Oswestry Border Counties Advertizer says a long-awaited road reopening in Wrexham "came just in time to ease travel disruption caused by Storm Amy".

The B5605 in Newbridge reopened last Saturday (October 4) after being closed since a landslip during Storm Christoph in 2021.

* However, despite the re-opened Newbridge, there was still considerable disruption in Llangollen on Saturday due to the diversion as the pictures below show.

* Congestion in Castle Street at lunchtime on Saturday after traffic was diverted through Llangollen by the viaduct closures.

* At one point around 12.30pm on Saturday an ambulance with 'blues and twos' on had to reverse out of a congested Castle Street where it had intended to go and continue instead along the  A5 instead.
