We've already examined the options for a third crossing on the Menai, and that’s something that we want to take forward. We've examined whether it's possible, for example, to extend—or widen, rather—the Britannia bridge. That's tricky, but, nevertheless, this is work in progress. We know how important it is—I mean, the A55 is not a dual carriageway across its entire length, because of the bridge. We already, of course, are beginning work to remove the roundabouts in Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr, which will help hugely, and, of course, at the eastern end of the A55, looking at improving the gateway to Wales at Drome Corner. But, yes, the Member is right; ensuring that there is a proper four-lane crossing over the Menai will be important work for the next few years.
