Funding Boost For Llangefni Link Road
Wales' Economy and Transport Secretary Ken Skates has announced further investment to enable the delivery of section 3 of the Llangefni Link Road.
An additional £1.028 million is being invested this financial year and up to £2.5m provided in 2018-19, subject to an updated business case, bringing the Welsh Government contribution in the scheme to over £10.6m.
The Link Road is being delivered in four sections and is a key part of Grŵp Llandrillo Menai's masterplan to develop their Llangefni Campus as an Energy and Engineering Training Facility. The Link Road will also be important in mitigating the impact of traffic in Llangefni town centre.
While sections 1 and 2 of the link road were officially opened in March 2017, section 4, the construction of new roundabout junction of the A5114 and the Bryn Cefni Industrial Estate road was opened to traffic in December.
As a whole, the project has received funding from the Welsh Government, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Economy and Transport Secretary Ken Skates said: "The Llangefni Link Road is a vital development which will not only enable Grŵp Llandrillo Menai to expand, but also improve access to Anglesey Enterprise Zone businesses and support the area to realise its potential for economic growth.
"All of this has been made possible thanks to a close working partnership between Welsh Government, Anglesey County Council, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and is an excellent example of what can be achieved when everyone has the same goal in mind.
"I am delighted today's announcement will see this new route completed which will provide a big boost to the area and delivers on my commitment to improve our transport network to connect communities and businesses with jobs and services."
Councillor Bob Parry, Anglesey Council's portfolio holder for Highways, Waste and Property, added: "We're delighted to have secured the funding needed to complete the final section of this important infrastructure project.
"The Llangefni Link Road will help secure significant economic benefits for Llangefni and Anglesey. It will provide a key driver for the expansion of the Grŵp Llandrillo Menai campus and further training opportunities for our young people. The project will also improve access to our Enterprise Zone sites and A55 expressway, and help overcome traffic constraints in Llangefni.
"I'd like to thank the Cabinet Secretary, Ken Skates, and the Welsh Government for their continued support in bringing this project to fruition."
Ruthin-based Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK will undertake the construction of final section after a competitive tender process with work expected to be completed towards the end of 2018.
