Lane closures and traffic lights return to Menai Suspension Bridge

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 13:01 · Archive

The Menai Suspension Bridge will close its west lane between 9am and 3pm on weekdays from 2 to 20 November for maintenance work.

The Menai Suspension Bridge will undergo planned maintenance works from 2 to 20 November as part of its ongoing Phase Two programme. The west lane will close between 9am and 3pm on weekdays during this period, with temporary traffic lights managing traffic flow.

The work includes inspections of the Anglesey West land saddle, clearing and cleaning of the west side tower bearings, and further inspections of the tower saddles which carry the chains over the bridge. Traffic Wales said the closures are necessary to allow contractors to access essential bridge elements safely.

Efforts will be made to reopen the west lane as soon as possible once works are completed and it is safe to do so. The bridge has been undergoing repairs since 2021, leading to periods of closure and restrictions in recent years.
