TRAFFIC is queueing back to Colwyn Bay on the A55 as the Conwy Tunnel had to be closed westbound due to a vehicle fire.

There are delays all around the network, including Conwy, Llandudno Junction and Deganwy, as motorists attempt to find other routes.

INRIX reports: "A55 Conwy Tunnel Westbound closed, long delays due to earlier vehicle fire from J18 / A546 (Conwy / Llandudno Junction) to J17 A547 (Conwy Morfa). Congestion to J20 (Colwyn Bay). Surrounding routes around Llandudno Junction are also heavily congested, including the A546 and A547 Conwy Road as traffic seeks an alternative. The Conwy Tunnel has been fully closed to assist."

 

AA maps now show traffic tailing back to Colwyn Bay.

The fire is now out and the vehicle has been removed from the carriageway.

Both lanes have been opened.
