A new traffic management system will be put in place on the Menai Suspension Bridge with a tidal flow system operating to allow for the permanent repair of the damaged crossbeams. This is due to be in place from 19 February for a period of approximately eight days. 

From 7am-1pm traffic will be able to cross from Anglesey to the mainland, and from 1pm-7pm traffic will be able to cross from the mainland to Anglesey. Between 7pm and 7am there will be normal traffic signals in place.

As part of the revised wider Phase 2 programme there will only be traffic management for short periods of time to complete key elements. 

The Welsh Government said that revised plans have significantly reduced the need for traffic management on the bridge compared to the earlier plans, thereby reducing disruption to residents, commuters and businesses. 

Enforcement of the 7.5 tonne weight limit remains essential for maintaining safe operation of the bridge while works are underway.
