Caernarfon and Bontnewydd bypass reopens after crash

A section of a new bypass has reopened following a crash on its first day in use.

The four-vehicle crash happened on the A487 Caernarfon and Bontnewydd bypass in Gwynedd, near Penybryn Road.

North Wales Police said motorists suffered minor injuries only.

Diversions were in place until the road was cleared and it fully reopened on Saturday afternoon. The £139m road opened a day later than planned to avoid disruption from Storm Eunice.

Work on the six-mile road (9.7km) began in 2019 and continued during the Covid pandemic.

Traffic Wales said the road had been partially blocked following the eastbound collision, with Welsh Ambulance Service at the scene.
