Yes, times have changed over the years Norman but going up Ty Gwyn Road by the lights nowadays is a challenge even for the locals

Perhaps that's because certain ex councillors lived on Ty Gwyn Hill just before the traffic lights and prevented the very necessary double yellow lines from being installed. Guaranteed to cause a bottle neck in busy times.

Re: ROADS in Llandudno to close for up to nine weeks

ROADS in Llandudno could close for up to nine weeks as work is carried out to improve the junction on Mostyn Street by the Tudno Castle Hotel.

The work will see a right turn lane implemented from Conwy Road to Mostyn Broadway.

In a public notice published in the Pioneer, Conwy County Borough Council revealed that roads - including Vaughan Street, Mostyn Street and Mostyn Broadway - would be closed for a maximum period of nine weeks from Monday, January 25.

"Conwy County Borough Council has made an order to enable a new road layout construction," the notice added.

"The effect of which will be to prohibit any person from causing any vehicle to proceed in the lengths of road specified in the schedule and to prohibit any person from causing any vehicle to park in those parking bays specified."

The works will involve:
Vaughan Street: Road closure from the junction of Conway Road to the junction of Adelphi Street.
Mostyn Street: Road closure from the junction of John Street to the junction of Vaughan Street.
Mostyn Broadway: Prohibition of parking outside the doctor's surgery.
A spokesperson from Conwy council told the Pioneer: "We are improving the junction on Mostyn Street by Tudno Castle Hotel to reduce traffic congestion and improve flow, especially at peak times. This will include adding a right turn lane from Conwy Road to Mostyn Broadway.

"The work is expected to take seven weeks but the order is in place for nine weeks in case of delays."

If there is now going to be 90 bedrooms, I wonder where they are all going to park their cars overnight?

We ve thought of that Bri but the brains haven't,  can see it now all parking on debenhams getting home to a hefty overstayed parking charge,  if a certain councillors good plans had been carried on for the town may have worked.

Same as they do for Travelodge-----all over the surrounding roads.

A55 bridge expansion works delayed by Brexit - when they will restart and how you will be affected
The work to replace joints in the Glan Conwy Viaduct at Junction 19 have been rescheduled

Due to start January 15, the joints are now to make their way towards the construction site in the next two weeks, with work expected to begin on Friday, January 29.

To keep road users and the workforce safe, the viaduct above Junction 19 could be closed for up to two weeks with traffic being diverted via the roundabout and slip roads below.

I guess it will help matters if the rule of all but essential travel is maintained. Wonder how long it will take to complete?

I did have legitimate cause to travel last Friday and I thought the layout at the roundabout was an improvement. I have read some negative and In my humble opinion stupid comments on the local FB page ( which does seem to attract quite a few idiots) who said that if you couldn't manage to negotiate it before the changes then you shouldn't be on the road. That view could only be held by a local person. because certainly if you were a stranger trying to negotiate the correct lane was indeed a lottery especially coming off the A55 to head to Glan Conwy and the A470.
