The Menai Suspension Bridge links the north Wales mainland to Anglesey

  • Published

The Menai Suspension Bridge will reopen to two-way traffic at 07:00 BST on Friday after being closed to replace bolts on beams.

The bridge, which connects Anglesey to the north Wales mainland, reopened to single flow traffic on 7 October and with a three-tonne weight limit.

Now the bridge has been strengthened the limit has been raised to 7.5 tonnes.

There will be checks on the works every Wednesday at 10:00 when traffic will be managed with stop/go signs.

The reopening coincides with the Menai Bridge fair but more work is needed to fix the bridge permanently.

The Welsh government said updates would be provided soon.
