We are refurbishing the bridge and improving safety.
Overview
The Menai Bridge was the UK’s first iron suspension bridge. We are refurbishing the bridge to ensure it remains in good working order and is safe for everyone who uses it.
This is taking place in 2 phases.
Phase 1 has been completed. Phase 2 works are expected to start after the crossbeam permanent fix is completed.

What we are doing
In phase 1, UK Highways A55 Ltd successfully replaced the hangars, ensuring the bridge is safe for drivers and pedestrians.
Phase 2 will include:
- painting the underdeck, parapets and bearing access
- repairing concrete corbels
- recalibrating the land saddle
- upgrading lighting
Next steps
Phase 2 works are expected to start after the crossbeam permanent fix is completed.
Traffic restrictions will be in place for the duration of the works.
This includes a 7.5 tonne weight restriction for vehicles, including emergency service vehicles.
Drivers must adhere to the weight restriction and should plan an alternative route.
