Flood prevention works to take place on A525

Flood prevention works are set to take place on the A525 between Trefnant Lights and the Denbigh ATS roundabout from Tuesday 26 August until Friday September 5.

The purpose of the works is to resolve the recurring issue of flooding on this section of during periods of heavy rainfall, especially during the winter months. 

The first phase of work from 26 – 29 August will see the road will be closed both day and night, diversion routes will be signed accordingly. Following on, the second phase of these works will see temporary two way lights on the section between 29 August and 5 September.

The first phase of the work is taking place during the school holidays to minimise disruption to the school run and businesses. Water levels are also at their lowest more especially due to the continued dry spell which will assist matters on site and help speed up the works to a successful conclusion.

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “Denbighshire County Council apologise for any inconvenience that these essential flood prevention works may cause, and we are grateful for local cooperation and patience during this time to ensure that the works are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
