A tunnel that was closed after a large fire has fully reopened three days after the incident.

A major incident was declared after a vehicle caught fire in the Conwy Tunnel on the A55 on Thursday afternoon.

There were no fatalities, and the tunnel reopened eastbound on Friday morning, with a contraflow system being used.

Traffic Wales said on Sunday that the westbound tunnel has now reopened, with a temporary 50mph speed limit in place.

“Our teams have worked hard to undertake essential inspections and repairs to life safety systems,” it said, adding that night-time closures are planned in the coming days to continue repairs.

About 40,000 vehicles a day on average pass through the tunnel, which connects Conwy and Llandudno Junction.
