The latest closure of Menai Suspension Bridge following reports of an overweight vehicle crossing has once again highlighted concerns around the resilience and reliability of the crossing.
This is the second closure in a week for safety inspections, causing further disruption for residents, commuters and local businesses who rely on the bridge every day.
Concerns have again been raised about the lack of long-term infrastructure planning in North Wales, with repeated disruption continuing to impact connectivity and the local economy.
Janet Finch-Saunders, Senedd Member for Bangor Conwy Môn said:
“Another closure of Menai Bridge will be hugely frustrating for local residents and businesses who depend on this crossing every single day.
These repeated disruptions underline the urgent need for long-term solutions to improve transport connectivity in North Wales, such as a new Menai crossing. As the new First Minster’s constituency is in Bangor Conwy Môn, I hope he will recognise the growing pressures on key infrastructure links such as the Menai Bridge crossing.
North Wales needs serious investment in transport infrastructure to support local communities, economic growth, and future developments in the region.”
