Every day 42,300 vehicles use the two 19th century bridges over the Menai Strait, linking Anglesey with mainland Wales. They’re the only road route on and off the island, and a lifeline to the people that rely on them.
Yet Menai Bridge has closed multiple times in recent years for emergency repairs, and the Britannia Bridge often closes during bad weather. Businesses in North West Wales have suffered economic pain and traffic chaos as a result.
But there is a solution: a third Menai Crossing has been planned for years. But we’re no closer to making it happen.
It’s clear that the country needs a third Menai crossing. People living on Ynys Môn need to be confident that they can get on and off the island when they need to.
A third crossing is also essential for making it easier to build new nuclear power at Wylfa and for helping Holyhead port grow. The crossing is a project of national importance and crucial for securing new jobs and economic growth.
We're calling on the governments in Cardiff and Westminster to work together and commit to getting a third Menai crossing built. Sign our petition today and tell politicians to support a Third Menai Crossing.
