What consideration has the Cabinet Secretary given to removing both of the roundabouts on the A55 at junctions 15 and 16 respectively?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales | Answered on 30/08/2024

The Roads Review of new road schemes in Wales was undertaken during 2021/2022 and played a valuable role in encouraging the development of an innovative approach to road building schemes. The Roads Review panel recommended that the scheme in the form that it had been developed at the time, should not be progressed.  Report on the A55 junction 14 and 15 improvements and the junction 16 and 16a improvements [HTML] | GOV.WALES

The report did recognise that there is a case for intervention on the A55 and  although a specific scheme is not included in the National Transport Delivery Plan National transport delivery plan 2022 to 2027 | GOV.WALES I will ask my officials to include this section of the A55 when developing sustainable and strategically aligned interventions along the A55.
