Over 40,000 potholes repaired on roads across North Wales
More than 40,000 potholes on nearly 80 miles of road have been fixed or prevented across north Wales on the Strategic Road Network and local roads since April last year.
The Welsh Government said its local government borrowing initiative has helped councils to fix or prevent around 171,000 potholes across 324 miles of local roads in total, across Wales.
More than 30,000 potholes on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) have also been repaired or prevented on around 65 miles in the same period.
1,011 local and 24 trunk road resurfacing schemes have been completed across the country with the Welsh Government stating that more works are scheduled to take place before the end of the financial year.
Some of the completed works so far include Rackery Lane in Llay and on Llanfair Road in Abergele.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said: “Fixing our roads is a priority for this government.
“I am delighted with the fantastic progress that’s been made since April and there’s a lot more to come.”
“We have significantly increased our investment in road maintenance and preventative treatments this financial year to deliver improvements across both the strategic and local road networks.
“As well as extending the longevity of Welsh roads and critical infrastructure, this work is also helping to keep communities connected safely and sustainably which in turn will help benefit the economy.”
