A55 crash LIVE updates as tunnel section shut due to ongoing incident
The westbound lane of the Penmaenbach Tunnel is currently closed.     Apparently there have been other crashes on the A55 today and I'm not surprised because when I drove on the A55 on Wednesday the westbound lane was as busy as any August Bank Holiday

This could have been cleared ?

Scenic road around Llandudno's Great Orme closed after rockfall
Council staff are working to reopen Marine Drive which was closed just before 4pm

20:48, 16 APR 2021UPDATED22:12, 16 APR 2021

Road barriers are in place from Happy Valley to St Tudno’s Road.

Pedestrians and cyclists, as well as vehicles, have been stopped from using the road while the rockfall is cleared.

Inrix, the traffic reporting service, said the closure is likely to remain in place well into the evening.

A ROAD closure will be in place to allow works to be carried out by Welsh Water.                   ref Pioneer

In a public notice, featured in this week's Pioneer, notice is given that Conwy County Borough Council intend not less than seven days from May 24 to make an order, the effect of which will be to prohibit any vehicle to proceed in that length of Church Road, Rhos On Sea, from the junction of Llandudno Road to the junction of Bryn Eglwys.

The notice added: "The order is necessary to facilitate works by Welsh Water, residential and emergency access will be maintained at all times.

"The alternative route will be via Llandudno Road and Marlborough Drive and vice versa and will be signposted accordingly."
The road is expected to be closed for a maximum period of 16 days.

Another notice says Pwllycrochan Avenue in Colwyn Bay will be closed for a maximum period of 14 days so that works by G C Construction can be carried out.
The order comes in effect on May 10.

Work is beginning on coastal defences at the Old Colwyn promenade - with the project aimed at protecting the A55 and coastal rail line.

From today 24/5/21 [Monday], work to strengthen the Victorian sea defences and protect the promenade from high tides and rough seas gets underway.

The work means part of the promenade will be closed for up to 18 months while civil engineering and construction firm Griffiths, based in Abergavenny, the main contractor, carries out the project.

The scheme, managed by Conwy County Borough Council, uses locally quarried rock to create rock armour to the height of the promenade, reports Business Live.

 Another day and another crash in the same area.     It's like a regular occurrence on the A55

All residential areas in Wales to be made 20mph under new Welsh Government laws
Pavement parking will also be banned


The parking aspect will be highly controversial as many roads in Wales would be impassible if cars could not park partially on the pavement
Just think of all the double yellow lines that they would have to paint to stop the pavement parking        &shake&

TRAFFIC lights could be installed on the A470 from Glan Conwy to Bewts-y-Coed amid concerns over motorists’ safety.

Welsh Government deputy minister for climate change, Lee Waters confirmed a review will be carried out along the trunk road to consider potential traffic control measures such as signage and road markings.

It follows calls from Aberconwy MS Janet Finch-Saunders for the government and local authority to “tackle the chaos” at a number of locations including Pont Fawr in Llanrwst, the junction in Tal y Cafn, Bodnant hill, and Rhyd y Creuau.

There's a fortune to be made here if you buy shares in road sign makers and yellow paint manufacturers!
