Further closures on Gresford Roundabout while final stage of roadworks take place

The Gresford Roundabout will close again this evening and reopen on Monday morning.

The closures feature as part of the final stage of resurfacing and remarking works taking place, with ramps currently set up to allow traffic on the work so far.

As a result the Gresford Roundabout will close at 8pm this evening and will reopen at 6am on Monday July 8th.

Motorists are being advised to allow additional travelling time during the closure period as some disruption is inevitable on any alternative routes.

Most of the roundabout is currently without road markings and is ready to be resurfaced. The various entrances to the roundabout were completed last week.

Last weekend saw complaints from some residents about the signage on the Llay New Road being poorly placed, with many motorists seen travelling through Pandy towards the roundabout only to have to turn around at the bottom of the road – with damage caused to one lamppost.

There were similar issues in Gresford, with The Beeches being used as a turnaround point by large vehicles and lorries.

The roundabout also opened ahead of schedule on the Saturday evening.

Earlier this week we asked Wrexham Council if there would be any changes to the location and visibility of the signage, however we have yet to receive a response.

Cllr David A Bithell, lead member for environment and transport said: That although there was some inconvenience the new resurfacing will be a significant benefit to all roads users when completed next weekend.”

While the works take place there will also be a series of changes to the Arriva No 1 service:
