Traffic Chaos on A55
Furious motorists found themselves stuck in queues up to 13 miles long on Sunday after roadworks began on the expressway near Colwyn Bay on Saturday.
Drivers were caught in huge tailbacks from Junction 16 Dwygyfylchi to Junction 23 Llanddulas.
The problems were caused by the work on a new crossover between Juntion 23 Llanddulas and Junction 22 Old Colwyn as well as on-going work at the Conwy Tunnel.
The outer lanes are due to be closed in both directions between Junction 22 and Junction 23 until April 5.
Welsh transport minister Ken Skates tweeted “Roadworks on the A55 are banned from Easter until Autumn unless there’s an emergency repair needed”
Colwyn Bay Road Diversions
Motorists are advised to expect delays through Colwyn Bay at peak times due to the ongoing promenade road works and work to refurbish the Pier.
Hold-ups on the A55
If you are travelling on the A55, please be aware of slow moving traffic around the Ewloe area.

Poppeltons
E Poppleton & Son Ltd was founded in 1924 by Yorkshire man Edward Poppleton and his son Arthur, to provide a radiator repair services to the North Wales Community. The Company built an enviable reputation with both the trade and the public for high quality repairs and excellent customer service.
In 1957 the Company moved premises from Greenfield Road, Colwyn Bay, to a site alongside the A55 Chester to Holyhead trunk road. This larger premises provided the necessary space for the Company to commence sheet metal fabrication and in 1961 the radiator business was sold so that the company could concentrate on Sheet metal fabrication and ductwork.
Around this time Edgar Poppleton joined the business. Edgar was instrumental in ensuring that Poppleton grew and prospered as a ductwork business, building on the foundations provided by his father and grandfather before him. At one point or another all of Edgar’s three sons worked in the business, this family trait continues to this day with many fathers, sons, and even grandsons working for Poppleton
In 2004, the company opened a 16,000 sq ft production facility, partially powered by a photovoltaic array, and which is sited on 3 acres of land. This facitlity houses the very latest BIM, CAD/CAM, and sheet metal machinery, our operational office, and an abundance of technical and highly skilled professionals, willing and able, to go that extra mile for our customers.
