Emergency pothole repairs are being carried out on stretches of the A483/A5 between the Gledrid and Halton roundabouts near Chirk.

The work on Friday involves rolling roadblocks with traffic stationary for short stretches of time while the work takes place.

Traffic Wales urged drivers to follow traffic officer directions while the rolling roadblocks were in place. They were expected to be lifted on Friday afternoon.

Long queues built up stretching south to Oswestry's Mile End Roundabout and north to Ruabon.
