Levelling Up Fund: Cynwyd to A5 Active Travel Project

Project background

This project has been funded by UK Government as part of the investment to the former Clwyd South Constituency and also by Welsh Governments Active Travel Fund. The proposed project will see an upgrade in surface to the former railway line connecting Cynwyd to the A5, making the route accessible 365 days a year. In addition, an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing will be created on the A5, with a speed reduction in place to make it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists to cross/join the A5.

Key points

Provide a traffic free active travel route, improving access by foot and bike between Cynwyd and Corwen.

The works will ensure that the path is accessible 365 days a year, due to the surface.

There will be an uncontrolled crossing point on the A5, which will make it easier for pedestrians to cross.

Current position

Site clearance has commenced.

Work began early November for the uncontrolled crossing point on the A5. This work will be completed before Christmas.
