	The Motorway Archive. The North Wales Coast Road. A55
		Road bridges on the 5km stretch were of an innovative design - later used at Rhuallt Hill - to reduce maintenance by creation of a continuous deck.
		In early 1999, UK Highways A55 Ltd, a subsidiary of UK Highways Ltd, in which Laing holds the majority stake, won the concession to build, operate and maintain the A55 trunk road across the Island of Anglesey, off North Wales.
		The new road is a dual carriageway 32 km in length.

		The A55 runs west from its junction with the M53 motorway near Chester, where it is known as the Chester Southerly Bypass, crossing the River Dee and the Welsh border before passing close to Broughton then passing north of Buckley and Northop.
		The A55 partly follows the alignment of the Roman road from Chester (Deva) to Caernarfon (Segontium), particularly from Junction 31 to 30 and Junction 13 to 12.
		Between Chester and Holywell the alignment of this road is uncertain and between St. Asaph and Aber, the Roman road followed an inland route avoiding the difficulties of the crossing of the Conwy estuary and the cliffs at Penmaenbach and Pen-y-Clip.

	Otters and Roads
		The A55 Trunk Road across Anglesey opened in the year 2000 was controversial, particularly with respect to nature conservation and the loss of wildlife habitats and agricultural land.
		Despite this apparent conflict the A55 across the island has been successful in the sense that it is an example of how such roads can be built while minimizing the impact and conflict with wildlife.
		The A55 was constructed to incorporate a wide range of wildlife mitigation at numerous points along its route, most obvious being the scalloped verges which provide havens for wildlife with their varying widths, profiles and management regimes.

		It runs west from its junction with the M53 motorway near Chester, where it is known as the Chester southerly bypass, crossing the River Dee, Wales and the Welsh border before passing close to Broughton then passing north of Buckley and Northop.
		The road bypasses St Asaph and runs along the North Wales coast passing Abergele, Colwyn Bay, Conwy, Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan and Bangor before heading onto the island of Anglesey, where it ends in Holyhead where ferries connect with the Irish ports of Dún Laoghaire and Dublin.
		The crossing of the estuary of the River Conwy is by means of a Tunnel that was constructed as pre-formed Concrete sections and then floated into position over a pre-prepared trench in the bed of the estuary.

	CBRD - British Roads FAQ
		Nearly all public roads have been surfaced since the early part of the 20th century, and the country has a good coverage of purpose-built dual carriageways (divided highways) and motorways (freeways), built from the 1950s onwards.
		Older roads are generally well maintained and surfaced, but are rarely widened or re-aligned and often their courses have been unchanged for centuries.
		A-roads are the other major routes; they vary from motorway-standard to narrow local roads, and have 1, 2, 3 or 4-digit numbers prefixed with 'A'.

		In the other direction, the Milltown Road continues for a short distance to the east before hitting a roundabout with the Hospital Road (which becomes the busy Hillhall Road) and the Purdysburn Road.
		According to the Roads Service press release, the scheme has been "fast tracked" since the Hillhall Road is an alternative route into Belfast that avoids the M1/Westlink where major upgrade work began in January 2006.
		The red-and-white blocks mark the existing teardrop roundabout, while the extent of the widening is evident towards the left of the road and on the new embankment beyond.

		Most of the A55 is grade separated, and the early sections have a general motorway feel - it is easy to forget that fairly recently the A55 was a dog of a road, one long drag through one depressing Welsh village after another (Holywell, Abergele, others with plenty of Llan-whatsits in there).
		When the road was dualled, new tunnels were drilled alongside to carry the second carriageway.
		Until last year, this was the end of the A55, with the Bangor bypass (a continuation of the A55) taking the A5 number up to Holyhead.

	Road Projects Needed in North-West England
		This is a list of various road projects, mainly in Cheshire, Greater Manchester and the Potteries, that would greatly improve the region's road network, reduce congestion and accidents and enhance the local economy.
		All of these roads are desperately needed in an area that suffers from chronic congestion, particularly in the centres of towns and villages such as Hazel Grove, Poynton and Bredbury.
		There are environmental concerns in widening a road through the Peak District, but to be honest the landscape is generally just downright bleak and if anything would be enhanced by a well-laid-out six-lane motorway and a few striking bridges and viaducts.

		A Roman road book, the Antonine Itinerary, which has survived until modern times as a Medieval reprint, indicates the road Iter XI connected the Roman military settlements of Deva, Canovio, Varis (unknown) and Segontio, this subject is dealt with in more detail at the Roman Milestones page.
		The road can be viewed as an earthwork (agger and sandstone kerbs) crossing the field south of Coed yr Arw, and was located in a trial trench by P.K Baillie Reynolds mid point between the wood and the fort.
		The south road can be seen as a causeway exiting the fort, S-E of which is the river and marsh, and it appears to curve S-W, to avoid the river, this was confirmed in one of P.K Baillie Reynolds’ sections in 1929.

	NEW CROSS-BORDER ANTI-SPEEDING ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
		Excessive speed was a factor in almost 30% of road fatalities in the Republic of Ireland between 1996 and 2004 and a factor in 24% of road fatalities between 1996 and 2005 in Northern Ireland.
		However, evidence shows that every time human error causes a road collision it is the speed of the vehicles which determines the outcome – whether someone lives or dies, or is maimed for life.
		This is the twelfth cross-border road safety campaign commissioned jointly by the Road Safety Authority and the Department of Environment in Northern Ireland.

		In the late eighties, during construction of the A55 Chester to Bangor Trunk Road, a number of large voids, known as swallow holes, were detected beneath the rock surface.
		The construction of the A55 trunk road therefore had to include the addition of a surface membrane (geotextile webbing) to elevate cracking.
		Utlising the County Councils road traffic management contractors, a priority was to ensure that one lane of the carriageway could remain open throughout the operation.

	Friends of the Earth Cymru: Press Release: 2002: PFI and road-building
		The environmental group have repeatedly expressed their concerns about PFI road-building schemes because the contract repayments, which can be for well over twenty years, effectively erode the ability of the coming generation to fund future environmentally friendly transport policies.
		It is well established that new roads encourage more traffic and Friends of the Earth Cymru have voiced the concerns of many about the numerous environmental consequences of rising traffic levels, such as local air pollution to global warming emissions.
		The £100 million A55 Anglesey scheme and the £50 million Newport SDR (Southern Distributor Road) are two major PFI contracts that Friends of the Earth Cymru would like to see investigated in terms of value for money and risk transfer but also in terms of the Assembly's sustainable development remit.

	BBC - North East Wales Deeside - A494 road development
		Surely when you stand at the Welsh roads traffic lights having come from the end of the M56 the route is obvious and direct, accross the bridge and then on to bypass Flint and up the hill to join the A55.
		If you look at the scattergrams that were available during the exhibition, the significant majority were on the slip roads at queensferry and ewloe roundabouts - these junctions remain in the new proposals and, given the higher speed limits proposed for the new road, are unlikely to reduce.
		The layout of the road after the last upgrade (the left hand lane that stops just before the river Dee) left me in no doubt that the project is not finished and will continue each time funding is approved.
