Overnight A5 roadworks due to begin on Thursday

* A sign on the A5 just the other side of the Coed Afon play area says the first phase of work will start from that point on Thursday. 

Drivers travelling through Llangollen between next Thursday and the end of the month are being warned to expect delays of up to 20 minutes as overnight roadworks take place on the main A5. 

The works, being carried out by contractors on behalf of the North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agent (NMWTRA), will be carried out in three phases, each phase lasting for two nights:

• A5 20mph Gateway East, near Craig-y-Don and Queen Street: 22/10/2026 – 24/10/2026
• A5 Wild Pheasant to Aldi, Berwyn Street: 24/10/2026 – 28/10/2026
• A5 Berwyn Street, including the Market Street and Hall Street junctions: 28/10/2026 – 31/10/2026

The works will be undertaken between 6pm and 6am under two-way temporary traffic signals with a 10mph convoy system in operation through the works area.

NMWTRA says this could result in a higher than usual level of noise at intervals and apologises in advance for any inconvenience incurred.

They add that full consideration has been given to the impact of the work on road users, residents and workforce and explains there will be full road closures with local diversions, contra-flow and lane closures. 

NMWTRA says it will distribute a letter to properties alongside the works area informing residents and businesses.

Arrangements will also be put in place to allow customers/workers to access and leave the properties within the works area.
