We are actively working with UK Highways A55 DBFO Ltd, to
partially reopen the Menai Suspension Bridge to cars,
motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians in the coming days.
This partial reopening is expected to operate between the hours
of 07:00-19:00hrs with a full closure overnight. During the hours
of operation, the bridge will be limited to vehicles up to a
3-tonne weight limit, with traffic management and a single flow
of traffic off the island in the morning and onto the island in
the afternoon.
Cyclists will be expected to dismount when on the bridge and use
the pedestrian footway.
Emergency access arrangements for ambulances not able to cross
the Britannia Bridge will be in place.
Discussions are ongoing with UK Highways A55 DBFO Ltd and North
Wales Police and confirmation of timescales and enforcement will
be provided as soon as a plan is fully agreed.
Work is taking place in parallel to undertake the necessary
repairs to the bolts. We will continue to provide regular updates
when further information is available.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to the local community
and thank everyone for their continued patience as we work to
resolve this urgent matter.
Notes to editors
What is a 3-tonne vehicle?
A 3-tonne vehicle could be a small commercial van, light truck,
or pickup used for deliveries, maintenance, or utility work. Most
cars will be less than 3 tonnes.
