Update on Lôn Eifion Path Closure

The following statement was issued by Gwynedd Council on 22nd January:

🚧 Lôn Eifion Update 🚧
Following the significant damage caused by severe weather before Christmas, a section of Lôn Eifion is closed between Penygroes and the Inigo Jones site in Y Groeslon.
After carrying out a detailed inspection of the damage, plans are now in place to rebuild the embankment. We are working to appoint contractors so that work can begin in the coming weeks.
Our aim is to reopen the route before the Easter holidays. We apologise for any inconvenience, but due to the extent of the damage caused by the stormy weather in December, this section of the path is not currently safe for public use.
We will share a further update once work begins on-site. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
