If the A55 had been designed and built properly in the first place then maybe this could have been avoided. It has nothing to do with the current government or WAG this is a systemic failure from 30 years ago. Proper drainage, a hard shoulder, proper length feeder lanes (that one as you merge from Tal-y-Bont eastbound is horrendous), the roundabouts, the ridiculous Pen-y-Clip 30mph zone, 50mph zone in Colwyn Bay the list goes on and on plus the constant closure of lanes for roadworks or worse still cutting the grass is why DaveR is correct in saying it is 3rd world and a disgrace.
