Overview
- As of Wednesday morning, multiple routes in the region remained closed or partially blocked by floodwater, with disruptions reported on the A5 near Llangefni and several B-roads in Gwynedd and Anglesey even after alerts were lifted.
- At Rhosfawr caravan park near Pwllheli, about eight inches of water surrounded caravans, and site managers arranged a pump after being told by Natural Resources Wales that action on the private site was not within its remit.
- On Monday, residents said some motorists removed closure cordons in Pwllheli, and fire crews responded after vehicles became stranded, including a delivery van and a separate rescue of a person trapped in floodwater in Penrhos at 8:12am.
- Traffic Wales closed the A40 bridge at Pontargothi on Tuesday between 9:30am and 3:00pm for emergency debris removal, structural maintenance and flood-alleviation works following recent storms.
- Natural Resources Wales says options under review include using floodplains west of Pwllheli and a new sea outfall to drain the Afon Rhyd-hir and Afon Penhros more quickly, with raising sections of the A499 cited as a harder but possible requirement.
