Road improvements to begin at Nant y Garth

Denbighshire County Council Highways are set to begin works on a major Welsh Government funded road maintenance scheme near Ruthin.

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.

Significant resurfacing work is due to take place from 15 September to 19 October, weather permitting, at the A525 Nant Y Garth Pass. Traffic shall be controlled using stop/go with convoy working so some delays should be expected.  As part of the works the road markings and studs will also be refreshed.

Some preparation work has already commenced, comprising of fence repairs and drain cleansing. 

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “The Council is fully aware that the state of Denbighshire’s Road Network is a regular topic from our residents. We are grateful for the Welsh Government funding which will along with the Nant y Garth Pass, will allow us to tackle a large section of our network which needs improving”.
