Further maintenance work on the Menai Suspension Bridge is set to get underway next week.

The west lane of the bridge will be closed each weekday for three weeks, starting from Monday 2nd November, as part of the ongoing second phase of planned works.

It will include inspections of the Anglesey West land saddle, clearing and cleaning of the west side tower bearings and further inspectons of the tower saddles which carry the chains over the bridge.

Traffic Wales says the west lane will close from 9am-3pm from Monday to Friday to allow the latest round of works to be carried out safely.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place to manage traffic flow.

The bridge is due to remain open at all other times although the 7.5 tonne weight restriction will remain in place with the work expected to be completed by Friday 20th November.

A Traffic Wales spokesperson said: "These brief periods of traffic management are critical to delivering our Phase Two maintenance programme, allowing our contractors to access essential elements of the bridge in a safe and controlled environment for both them and bridge users."

"As with our previous single lane closure, every effort will be made to re-open the west lane as soon as possible and once safe to do so after works have been completed."

The Welsh Government says the maintenance work is expected to by completed by next Spring.

Earlier this month, ministers announced development work was resuming on plans for a third Menai crossing, three years after the project was originally halted.
