Is the Wrexham-Chester bypass ok now in the mornings (Chester end) have not seen any reports on here for a couple of days.

The Chester bound carriageway was backed up just after 7 am most mornings last week.

…and lasts for sure until 09:30. No idea after that. It “appears” to be worse now than before the new arrangement.

It does appear that way, however, the timings on the traffic lights aren’t ideal as they are only a temporary arrangement.

I’ve noticed the hatched markings catching many people out too. People moving into the hatching will cause a lot of problems for those coming from the Rossett direction.

And vice versa no doubt. I’ve seen a large van ( that came from the Pulford road ) straddled across the southbound junction, blocking all Chester > Wrexham south bound traffic. Potential gridlock there.

p.s. I must be blind or maybe colour blind…I see no cross hatching as yet.

It is Northbound at the second set of lights.

Have the roadworks finished yet?

I’ve got back from holiday and they were due to be finished a few days ago, and was looking forward to them being gone when I went back to work, but having seen the article on Wrexham.com about the temporary lights breaking in guessing they’re nowhere near finished?

Those temporary traffic lights never seem to have worked properly every since they were put up, and seemed to spend most of the time on red anyway.

Weren’t they always scheduled to be finished end of March, not end of February?

So they still have another four and a bit weeks.

No. The end of March is when they are due to be finished.

Unfortunately they have just announced that the roadworks will need an extra 6 weeks to complete, and the hope to finish end of May.

Not sure the “adverse weather” argument is valid , this has been a relatively mild, snow and frost free winter. When deciding how long the works would take there must have been some leeway for winter conditions included.
