Mae ymgynghoriad 12 wythnos Llywodraeth Cymru yn dechrau heddiw a bydd yn canolbwyntio ar ddau opsiwn ar gyfer coridor prysur yr A55/A494/A548\.  

 Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates:

 
> "Roedd yn glir pan gefais fy mhenodi i'r swydd hon y llynedd bod buddsoddi mewn seilwaith ledled Cymru yn flaenoriaeth fawr ac rwy'n falch i symud ymlaen i gam nesaf y prosiect pwysig hwn. 
> 
>  "Mae mwy o draffig ar goridor yr A55/A494/A548 nag y dyluniwyd ar ei gyfer ac mae hyn yn arwain at dagfeydd rheolaidd. Nid yw'r coridor yn bodloni safonau modern ac mae rhai o'r cyffyrdd ymuno ac ymadael yn rhy fyr neu'n rhy agos at y ffordd. Mae gwelededd gwael hefyd yn broblem barhaus.
> 
>  "Mae'r ddau gynnig hyn yn cynrychioli gwelliannau a buddsoddiad sylweddol, gyda chostau'n uwch na £200 miliwn. Dyna pam fod ymgynghoriad cynhwysfawr mor bwysig er mwyn sicrhau'r datrysiad gorau posibl ar gyfer y rhanbarth a'i gymunedau.
> 
>  "Mae'r Opsiwn 'Glas' yn lledu'r llwybr A55/A494 ac yn cau, addasu a gwella'r cyffyrdd. Mae'r Opsiwn 'Coch' yn cynnwys cynyddu capasiti'r A548 presennol a chreu ffordd newydd rhwng yr A55 a'r A548\. 
> 
>  "Mae'r rhain yn benderfyniadau sy'n bwysig yn lleol ac rwy'n annog pawb sydd â diddordeb i gymryd rhan a rhoi eu barn."

 Mae'r ddau opsiwn ymgynghori'n cynnwys cyfleusterau teithio actif ac yn ystyried y dirwedd leol, gofynion ecolegol a ffactorau amgylcheddol ar bobl.  

 Fel rhan o'r ymgynghoriad bydd arddangosfeydd cyhoeddus yn cael eu cynnal yng Nghlwb Cymdeithasol Ewloe (21 a 22 Mawrth) a Choleg Cambria (23 a 24 Mawrth) rhwng 10am ac 8pm.

 Mae manylion y cynigion, yr arddangosfeydd cyhoeddus a sut i ddweud eich dweud ar gael yn: https://ymgyngoriadau.llyw.cymru/. 

 Mae Ysgrifennydd yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth hefyd wedi cyhoeddi, yn dilyn adolygiad ar yr A494, y bydd y system goleuadau traffig newydd yn cael ei gosod ger Alltami cyn gynted ag y bo modd. 

 Nes hynny, bydd system goleuadau traffig dros dro yn cael ei gosod i ddarparu mwy o amser 'golau gwyrdd' ar gyfer yr A494, fydd yn gwella dibynadwyedd a llif y traffig.

The Welsh Government’s 12 week consultation starts today and will look at two options for the busy A55/A494/A548 corridor.  


Economy Secretary Ken Skates said:



> “I was clear when I was appointed to this post last year that infrastructure investment across Wales was a big priority and I’m delighted to move forward into this next phase of this important project. 
> 
> 
> “The A55/A494/A548 corridor experiences more traffic than it was designed for resulting in regular congestion. The corridor is below modern standards with some of the junctions having slip roads that are too short or too close to the road and poor visibility is an ongoing problem.
> 
> 
> “Both of these proposals represent significant improvements and investment, with costs upwards of £200 million. That is why a comprehensive and all encompassing consultation is so important in order to ensure the best possible solution for the region and its communities.
> 
> 
> “The ‘Blue’ Option includes widening the A55/A494 route and removal, modification and improvement of junctions while the ‘Red’ Option includes increased capacity on the existing A548 and a new road between the A55 and A548\. 
> 
> 
> “These are important local decisions and I would urge all those with an interest to get involved and feed in their views.”


Both consultation options contain active travel facilities, consideration of the local landscape, ecological requirements and human environmental factors.  


As part of the consultation exercise public exhibitions will be held ar Ewloe Social Club (21 and 22 March) and Coleg Cambria (23 and 24 March) between 10am and 8pm.

Elsewhere on the A494, the Economy and Infrastructure Secretary has announced that following a review, the traffic signals near Alltami, will be replaced with a new system at the earliest opportunity. 


Until then, an interim traffic signals system has been set up which provides an additional green time interval for the A494, and will improve reliability and traffic flow.
