Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 22 January 2020.
I'm very grateful for that response. One of the key routes, of course, in Wales is the east-west route along the A55 corridor, which as you've already indicated does go through my constituency. Now, I know that there has been some effort by the Welsh Government to invest in some of the pinch points along that road. But would you agree with me that it's time that we had a major upgrade of the A55, so that we can lift it into a motorway status, where it receives the significant investment that it needs in order to cope with the demands that are being placed upon it? As the main artery in and out of north Wales, it is the economic lifeblood for the region, and we need to make sure that we deal with the congestion that is regularly appearing on there in a much more substantial way than we've done to date.
