Ieuan Wyn Jones, the Welsh Assembly Government deputy first minister, has unveiled two new bridges designed to provide a safe route for cyclists and pedestrians in North Wales.

The £2m Pen-y-Clip bridges, located at either ends of the Pen-y-Clip bridges over the A55, have been funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to link communities in Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan. Jones said: "We are committed to creating more cycle routes across all parts of Wales. These bridges will enable cyclists and pedestrians to use the Old Telford road across the headland, creating a safer and more scenic route.

"By replacing the existing crossing either side of the Pen-y-clip tunnel with bridges, we have created a continuous route that will better link the two communities and significantly improve this section of the national cycle network."
