Police can be seen stopping traffic gaining entry onto the eastbound carriageway at the Asda roundabout.

The A494 westbound at Sealand is closed due to a police led incident.

An image taken from Traffic Wales cameras shows a police road block outside the former RAF base at Sealand.

Highways England however state the road is closed from the Cheshire border westbound, between the junctions with the A540 (Woodbank) and the A550 (Sealand) “due to a North Wales Police led incident.”

A diversion is currently in operation

Exit at the junction with the A540 and follow route marked with a hollow square symbol on road signs.

This will route your journey north on the A540 to the junction with the A550 at Two Mills. Turn left onto the A550 and head south to rejoin A494.
