Drivers are being warned that the historic Menai Bridge could shut down entirely if workers continue to face abuse—after a confrontation forced repairs to halt. Over 200 years old and vital for Anglesey’s link to the mainland, the bridge is under a reduced 7.5-tonne weight limit due to aging suspension parts, with full repairs not expected until 2027. Despite frustrations from locals, UK Highways A55 Ltd says repeated violations—including a 15-tonne vehicle falsely claiming to be under 7 tonnes—and ongoing harassment of staff have forced them to threaten police involvement, staff withdrawal, and closure if things don’t improve. This isn’t the first crisis: the bridge was closed for four months in 2022, reopened in 2024, and now faces another critical phase of work set to finish by February.
