Major North Wales road to close tomorrow due to Storm Isha winds - with long diversion for drivers

A major North Wales road will close tomorrow due to Storm Isha winds. The region is set to be battered by extremely high winds on Sunday – with weather warnings also in place for Monday and Tuesday.

This evening Traffic Wales announced that a busy North Wales road would shut due to the wind warning. The A483 from Junction 1 to the A5 Gledrid Roundabout will close. It is due to fears about the high winds on the Dee and Ceiriog viaducts.

That stretch will shut at 8am on Sunday and remain closed until 6am on Monday morning. There will be a diversion in place that will take drivers via Llangollen – using the A539, A5 and B5070.

Traffic Wales said: “Due to extremely high winds that will be impacted by #StormIsha the Dee and Ceiriog viaducts will be closed tomorrow. Diversion via A539, A5 Llangollen and B5070, due to the B5605 landslip the diversion is longer. Please allow extra time and follow all signs.”
