A section of A55 in Flintshire will be closed this weekend until early hours of Monday due to ongoing roadworks.

Other closures: 

10 March 20:00 – 11 March 06:00 and 13 March 20:00 – 14 March 06:00

• A55 overnight closure for 2 nights westbound from J38 Posthouse Roundabout to J35 Dobshill.

11 March 06:00 – 23 March 20:00

• Daytime lane closure westbound.

14 March 20:00 – 23 March 06:00

• A55 overnight closure for 9 nights westbound from J38 Posthouse Roundabout to J35 Dobshill.

The improvements are expected to result in a quieter road surface, increased safety, and fewer unplanned closures for emergency repairs.

Traffic Wales said, “Since January 2020, we have done about 98 temporary road repairs on this section.”

“More than half of these repairs were done during the day with rolling roadblocks and overnight. Doing this work now will reduce daytime disruption from roadblocks and from overnight closure.”
