A SECTION of the Old Colwyn coastal path has reopened after work to connect it to the new promenade was completed.

The section from the parking area by The Arches to the A55 footbridge is now open, with the path now connected to the newly raised promenade.

The path still diverts away from the promenade at this point, while contractors finish this major civil engineering project to improve the coastal defences at Old Colwyn.

A Conwy County Borough Council spokesperson said: "We expect the promenade road and coastal path to reopen at the end of March 2024."
