Maintenance work on Horseshoe Pass to start next month

Maintenance work on the Horseshoe Pass is amongst the road resurfacing schemes to be carried out by Denbighshire County Council during March.

The council has earmarked 57 locations across the county to benefit from the two-year programme, some paid for by a Welsh Government Local Government Borrowing Initiative (LGBI) and others from the council's own capital. 

The aim of the programme, costing £4.780 million up to 2027, is to improve the carriageway surface condition on sections of the road network.

The are none of the Welsh Government funded schemes taking place in the Llangollen area.

But the A542 Horseshoe Pass appears in the list of those being financed by the county council.    

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We are fully aware of ongoing discussions regarding the condition of our roads in Denbighshire. 

"A lot of hard work will be going on across March to address a sizable part of our road network for the benefit of those who use the routes.

“I would like to thank all our residents living in the areas where this work will take place and also the drivers who use this route for their patience while we carry out this important work during March.”
