A55 road
The
A55
, also known as the
North Wales Expressway
(
Welsh
:
Gwibffordd Gogledd Cymru
) and the
Chester to Bangor Trunk Road
, is a major road in
Britain
. Its entire length is a
dual carriageway
primary route
, with the exception of the point where it crosses the
Britannia Bridge
over the
Menai Strait
. All junctions are grade separated except for two roundabouts — one east of
Penmaenmawr
and one in
Llanfairfechan
. The road originally ran from
Chester
to
Bangor
but was extended parallel to the A5 across
Anglesey
right into
Holyhead
Docks
in 2001. The road improvements have been part funded with European money, under the
Trans-European Networks
programme, as the route is designated part of
