Road resurfacing: Dolwen Road, Old Colwyn

Road resurfacing

Work starts: Friday 7 August 2026

Work finishes: Saturday 8 August 2026

What is happening?

We are resurfacing the section of Dolwen Road between Llanelian Road and Willowbrook.

Our contractor will be working between 6pm and 2am. We will need to close this section of road to complete the work. There will be no access to Pentre Isaf or Maes Madog during the closure. The noisiest work will be completed earlier in the evening to minimise disruption. Please follow signposted diversions.

Will it affect parking?

Yes - there will be no parking on affected sections while we do this work.

We will maintain pedestrian access at all times.

What is resurfacing?

Step 1 - remove the existing surface (this is called planing)

Step 2 – adjust or replace the ironwork, manholes & drainage gullies

Step 3 - clean the surface with a mechanical sweeper

Step 4 - lay a bond coating, to make sure the new surface sticks

Step 5 - lay the new surface

Step 6 - compact and level the new surface with rollers

Step 7 - repaint the road markings

Resurfacing is a noisy and dusty process, and we are sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.  The new road surface will provide a smoother, quieter ride and will be a long lasting benefit to the community.
