WORK on the Tal-y-Cafn bridge in the Conwy Valley is still on track despite extensive flooding in the Conwy Valley.
The bridge is due to re-open on Friday March 29 at 4.00pm.
A spokesperson for Conwy County Borough Council said: “The team working on the bridge have confirmed they’re still on schedule. It is still due to be completed on Friday March 29.”
The work includes: replacing waterproofing on the concrete deck; replacing joints; upgrading drainage; repairing concrete and resurfacing.
Diversions of up to 12 miles long were put in place when It closed on Monday February 25 for essential maintenance work. It is the only crossing over the River Conwy between Llanrwst and Conwy.
Access to the 200 year old Tal-y-Cafn pub, a former coaching inn turned bistro, will not be affected by the work, which is being carried out by M W T Civil Engineering.
