Some chunky ones here!

The guiding principles behind it may be honorable, but this is a shocking decision. Its a matter of resilience. We've already had a shot across the bows relying on 200yo infrastructure. A 3rd crossing would open up Britannia for improved active travel and public transport links.

Is the road review report available publicly? Welsh Government

Absolutely beggars belief given the justifications given for scrapping the 3rd Menai Crossing i.e. let's encourage 'modal shift' instead! So what's the answer Amani Wyre , just do nothing?? Or commission another expensive review into options already formally appraised. Kick the can.

Tonight I'll be giving a talk for Menai Heritage about "The Britannia Bridge and the Menai Heritage Collections". At the Telford Centre, Menai Bridge (across from Waitrose), 7pm, £2 entrance fee. See you there!

Finally! A new bridge into Menai Bay :D

Credit where its due, a really good thread.

I see lots of high-sided vehicles are still opting to brave the Britannia Bridge despite the high winds and the signs being up warning of the risk of overturning. Hopefully there won't be an incident. Be careful out there everyone.

The 3rd crossing was never going to happen while he was in this role. Maybe some hope now?

Ken Skates is named as the North Wales and Transport Cabinet Secretary. Ken Skates MS has pushed really hard previously to get the menai crossings sorted. Let's hope he can get this done now 🤞 Pob lwc Ken

Still no new menai crossing, but at least Cardiff are getting yet another venue for £150M, which will be nice for them.

youtu.be/Ty2q-ctJZKM?si… Hour delays at the bridges again. How about that 3rd Menai Crossing Ken Skates MS? I'm sure it would be possible to reach a political consensus with the opposition, what do you think Rhun ap Iorwerth? So many good reasons to get on with it. Let's do this!
