TRAFFIC on the Britannia Bridge has now resumed following a crash this morning (January 20) which led to a man dying and another being seriously injured.
North Wales Police was called at 2.55am today to a report of a serious crash involving two heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and two cars on the westbound carriageway on approach to the bridge.
North Wales Police said in a statement at 12.20pm today: “We can now confirm that the eastbound lane has now re-opened.
“Please bear in mind that, due to the amount of traffic in the area, delays are still inevitable and we thank you for your continued patience.”
A statement from Isle of Anglesey County Council shortly after 1pm added: “Traffic is now crossing Britannia Bridge in an eastbound direction after a fatal road collision earlier this morning.
“The incident has meant long delays on the A545, A5025 and B5420 towards Menai Bridge; and A5, A55 and A4080 towards Llanfairpwll and Bangor.”
