Important information about temporary footpath closure
From Monday 18 August, Public Footpath Number 52 in Llandecwyn will be closed for a period of up to three weeks as we reach a critical stage of the Eryri Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project.
The VIP project in Eryri National Park aims to reduce the visual impact of National Grid’s overhead line across the Dwyryd Estuary from Minffordd to Llandecwyn.
The temporary closure of the public right of way has been agreed with Cyngor Gwynedd and is necessary for the safety of the public and our team whilst specialist contractors carry out ground investigation works on behalf of National Grid.
The ground investigations are required to allow us to create the detailed design of the foundations for the overhead line diversion works associated with the Llandecwyn Tunnel Head House which will connect the existing overhead line to the new cables buried under the Dwyryd Estuary.
The closure of the public right of way will be clearly signposted. During the closure period all users of the public right of way are encouraged to use the alternative route we have agreed with Eryri National Park, as highlighted in yellow on the map below.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of the local community as we undertake this work on the Eryri VIP project and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
If you have any questions about the public rights of way closures or any other matter relating to the project, please do not hesitate to contact the Eryri VIP project team.
You can do this by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 0800 019 1898 between 9.00am – 5:30pm, Monday to Friday. If we are unable to answer your call, please leave a message and one of our team will call you back.
