Work to upgrade the footbridge at Penmaenmawr station on the North Wales coastline has been completed as part of Network Rail’s Railway Upgrade Plan, to deliver a bigger and better railway for passengers.
The footbridge, which is over 100 years-old, was removed earlier this year, to undergo specialist refurbishment works and repairs at the Centregreat Rail workshop in Cardiff. Engineers completed maintenance repairs, fitted a new foot deck, installed secondary handrails across the footbridge, repainted it and installed new energy efficient LED lighting.
A temporary footbridge was installed at the station for passengers while the upgrade work was finished.
Chris Wildy, works delivery manager at Network Rail Wales, said: “Passengers and members of the public will be able to enjoy the use of a much improved, safer footbridge at the station following the completion of this work as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan.
“We would like to thank the community for their patience while we completed this essential upgrade.”
