A section of Henllan Street in Denbigh will be closed to vehicular traffic for six weeks while work on a new housing development is carried out, Denbighshire Council has confirmed.
Dates and access
The closure will be in force from 20 July until 31 August. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the period, council officers say.
Diversion route and contingency
Motorists affected by the closure will be directed along an official diversion that runs via:
- Henllan Place
- Lenten Pool roundabout
- Lenten Pool
- Smithfield Road
- Lon Llewelyn
- Gwaenynog Road
Although the works are expected to finish by 31 August, the council has authorised the closure order to remain on the record for up to 18 months. That extended timescale is intended to provide flexibility should unforeseen delays occur during the construction programme.
Local impact and practical information
The closure affects the stretch of Henllan Street from its junction with Accar y Forwyn. Drivers who regularly use that link should plan journeys in advance and allow extra time while the diversion is in place. Cyclists and pedestrians should note that while walkers will still be able to pass, vehicle-free access does not extend to cyclists unless otherwise signed on site.
Residents or businesses seeking further information on the works, temporary traffic arrangements or access should contact Denbighshire Council’s highways team or consult public notices published by the council. Notices affecting the area are also listed on the Public Notice Portal maintained by the local press.
