Agreement will see bypass wagons off roads

THE construction team building the Porthmadog bypass has sealed an agreement with The Ffestiniog Railway which will save hundreds of heavy wagons a week travelling on local roads.

The historic tourist railway has given the go-ahead for a temporary crossing to be built across its track at Minffordd, allowing the road construction team to transport excavated material from the Minffordd section straight onto the bypass site without the need to travel on local roads.

To minimise disruption to the local communities it was decided to build a temporary road along the site for use by haulage wagons transporting stone from the quarry.
