Lôn Eifion Cycle Path Closure Update

The latest from the council:
🚧 Repair work to begin on Lôn Eifion 🚧
We are pleased to confirm that contractors have been appointed to carry out repair work on a section of the Lôn Eifion path which has been closed following storm damage.
Following significant damage caused by severe weather over the winter, a section of Lôn Eifion between Penygroes and the Inigo Jones site, Y Groeslon has been closed.
After undertaking a detailed survey of the damage, repair plans have been prepared and contractors will begin work on the path from 20 April onwards.
The work is expected to be completed within a month, and we will share an update when this section of Lôn Eifion reopens.

So we are expecting the path to reopen any day now…..
