North Wales Police closed the A55 Conwy Tunnel on July 15 after a crash involving a car and a lorry on the westbound carriageway. Police were called at 3.26pm, and the road reopened at 4.10pm after officers attended the scene.
Conwy Tunnel closure
A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “We were called at 3.26pm yesterday reporting a road traffic collision involving a lorry and a car on the Westbound carriageway of the A55 at the Conwy tunnel.” The same spokesperson said: “Officers attended and the road was closed until 4.10pm.”
The closure lasted less than an hour, which kept the disruption short, but it still blocked the westbound route through the Conwy tunnel during the afternoon. Drivers using that stretch were affected from the moment the carriageway shut until the road reopened at 4.10pm.
July 15 collision
The sequence was straightforward: police were called first, officers went to the scene, and the westbound carriageway stayed shut until reopening later the same afternoon. That order leaves the incident as a brief traffic disruption rather than a prolonged closure, even though it involved both a car and a lorry.
It is understood that nobody was injured. What caused the crash involving the car and the lorry was not stated in the available information, so the key fact for drivers is the same-day change on the A55: the Conwy Tunnel was closed, then reopened before the evening peak settled in.
