The A55 North Wales Expressway cuts straight through Colwyn Bay, between the town centre and the sea, and it influences nearly every sweeping job here. Maintenance on the expressway and its slip roads is done largely under night closures, and local roads carry diverted traffic when it is. The A547 serves as the parallel route through the town and Old Colwyn.
East of the town, limestone quarrying around Llanddulas and Llysfaen puts tipper traffic onto the coast roads. To the west, Mochdre has the area’s main concentration of trade and industrial units. The promenade has been rebuilt in stages with new sea defences, and Conwy County Borough Council’s main offices are in the town, giving it a sizeable public estate.
Coverage in and around Colwyn Bay
The same enquiry covers Rhos-on-Sea, Old Colwyn, Mochdre, Llysfaen and Llanddulas, and can run east to Abergele and Pensarn. With the A55 on the doorstep, operators working anywhere along the north Wales coast can reach the town without difficulty. Availability varies with the season and with whatever expressway works are in progress.
