There are no immediate plans to remove the "dangerous" roundabouts on the A55 at Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr, according to the Welsh Government.
This response disappoints Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy.
The decision comes after the government's 2021/22 reports highlighted safety concerns, poor network resilience causing traffic delays, limited diversion routes for A55 maintenance, inadequate sustainable travel, poor coastal access, and pedestrians and cyclists at risk.
Following a written question to Ken Skates, the Transport Secretary confirmed the scheme, as developed at the time, would not be going ahead.
He said: “The report did recognise that there is a case for intervention on the A55 and although a specific scheme is not included in the National Transport Delivery Plan, I will ask my officials to include this section of the A55 when developing sustainable and strategically aligned interventions along the A55.”
In response Ms Finch-Saunders has said: "This saga has been going on now for over a decade, reports have been written, plans have been drawn up and pledges have been made.
"Yet, we are still having the same conversation with the same rebuttal from the Welsh Government."
Ms Finch-Saunders added: "Despite the clear and urgent safety case for the removal of the roundabouts, as admitted by the Welsh Government, they still find reasons to refuse committing to any sustainable solution."

Ms Finch-Saunders explained: "More delays from the Welsh Government are setting the stage for more motorist misery.
"Up until two years ago, around £9 million had been spent on plans and reports.
"Had the Welsh Government committed when the opportunity arose, that money could have gone towards the project."
The MS finished by saying: "If they recognise that there is a case for intervention why can’t they put the money where their mouth is and intervene?
"I urge the Welsh Government to commit to making the lives of North Walians smoother and stress free."
