MOTORISTS are being urged to "plan ahead" as month-long demolition work gets underway near Betws-y-Coed.

Traffic Wales said the work is being carried out on the A5 as part of plans to maintain the busy road in the run up to Christmas.

A traffic light system has been put in place from November 8 until December 17.

Traffic Wales tweeted: "Delays possible, please plan ahead."

The A470 going south out of Llandudno is now 40mph ... sign has gone up today but I'm not sure how far that limit extends.  So ... wide clear bit of road is 40, then the twisty narrow road up Bodnant hill is 60 ... !

Oops, not Llandudno ... it's Glan Conwy.

A55 drivers warned to 'expect delays' during 15-day part closure of Conwy Tunnel
The tunnels will be shut completely on alternate weeks with contraflow traffic arrangements in the opposite bores

A55 motorists face 15 days of disruption from this weekend while alternate bores of the Conwy Tunnel are closed for safety upgrades.

Drivers on the North Wales Expressway are being warned to “expect delays” – and are being asked to avoid using alternative routes in case they create snarl-ups on local roads.

The work will start at 7pm on Sunday, November 21, and continue to 7am on Monday, December 6.

First, the westbound tunnel will be closed, then the eastbound bore, between junctions 17 and 18.

It's not that remote a road... Brenig is a very popular spot and the car park often very busy. They spent a lot of money putting in cameras to stop these idiots but I'm not sure if they actually work.

You could expect some "hairy motoring" driving along the A55 near Aber ... sorry, not a clear pic due to cropping from larger dash cam pic, it was raining and angle of the sign.

... "Wig Crossing" !!!

For those who wonder, Wig (I guess pronounced Weeg) is the name of the farm alongside the road!
