WREXHAM Council has announced new works that will be happening on a stretch of the A483 starting next month.

Overnight closures will come into affect from October 6 through to November 12 between 8pm-6am.

Works including verge and tree maintenance, barrier re-tensioning and litter picking during nights will take place during those times.

A statement on Wrexham Council's website says: "Motorists are advised that the A483 will benefit from a second cyclical works programme funded by the North and Mid Wales Trunk Agency from Sunday, October 6 to Tuesday, November 12, between the northern county boundary near Rossett (Junction 7) and the southern boundary near Gledrid roundabout.

"Works will include verge and tree maintenance, barrier re-tensioning and litter picking during nights, with lane closures between 8pm and 6am to minimise disruption.

"Motorists are advised that delays will be minimal, but to allow extra time for their journeys when travelling during the hours stated."

Cllr David A Bithell, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “I am pleased to announce that further cyclical maintenance works are planned for the upkeep of the A483 throughout the length of the county borough, after representations from Wrexham Council to Welsh Government.

“A works plan is in hand, and – as with any works – delays should be kept to a minimum, with lane closures restricted to later hours.”
