HC Deb 18 December 1986 vol 107 c616W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what were the traffic considerations that determined that the A55 dual carriageway Bangor bypass should continue into the A5 as a dual-carriageway around the Llanfairpwll bypass rather than continuing to Caernarfon.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The generation of traffic over the reconstructed Britannia bridge resulted in estimated design year traffic flows at Llanfairpwll bypass which justified the provision of a dual carriageway.

Improvement of the A487 trunk road between Bangor and Caernarfon is included in the programme of trunk road improvement schemes as set out in "Roads in Wales 1985". The standard of road to be provided will be determined following detailed consideration of all relevant factors including traffic need, cost and environmental implications.
