A SECTION of the Old Colwyn coastal path has reopened after work to connect it to the new promenade was completed.

The section from the parking area by The Arches to the A55 footbridge is now open, with the path now connected to the newly raised promenade.

The path still diverts away from the promenade at this point, while contractors finish this major civil engineering project to improve the coastal defences at Old Colwyn.

A Conwy County Borough Council spokesperson said: "We expect the promenade road and coastal path to reopen at the end of March 2024."

WORK ON the Old Colwyn promenade could be completed next week, with the council saying the project is "nearly there".

This week, a flood gate, road signs, health markers and roadside safety fencing are being installed by contractors.

To complete the promenade, coloured surfacing will need to be added to the road.

The council said that weather permitting, they expected to complete the work next week.

They added that once benches had been installed on the newly laid surfacing, the promenade and road would be open soon after.

The final stage of major new sea defences designed to protect a village promenade has been completed.

The project at Old Colwyn in Conwy county is also aimed at preventing the potential collapse, in extreme storm conditions, of the railway line along the north Wales coast, and parts of the A55 road.

It has taken three years and about ?35m to finish a scheme that has included the installation of 160,000 tonnes of rock armour along a 720m (2,362ft) stretch.

Conwy council cabinet member Goronwy Edwards said storms last week showed "how vulnerable some of these coastlines are".
