Road improvements finish ahead of schedule at Abergele Straights

Denbighshire County Council Highways has completed ahead of schedule a major Welsh Government funded road maintenance scheme on the A547 Abergele Straights between Rhuddlan and Borth roundabout.

Resurfacing work which started on October 6 was to be completed by October 31. However, the work has now been completed this week, delivering an improved road surface for drivers who use the route.

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We are really grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to complete this major piece of work ahead of schedule to deliver a better driving experience for those using this road.

“I’d also like to thank our residents for their patience whilst this Welsh Government funded work was ongoing to improve the Abergele Straights.”

Denbighshire County Council has earmarked 57 locations in the county within a two-year road maintenance programme produced to benefit from a Welsh Government Local Government Borrowing Initiative (LGBI). The aim of the funding (£4.780m over 2025/26 and 2026/27) is to improve the carriageway surface condition on sections of the county’s road network.
