Repairs to one of the two bridges linking the north Wales mainland to Anglesey will not be complete until spring 2026.
Maintenance works on the Menai Bridge began in 2023 and were previously delayed from August to December 2025, due to the discovery of defective hangers, which required "urgent replacement".
Despite previous hopes for the bridge work to be completed for the bridge's 200th anniversary on 30 January 2026, procurement and licensing issues will see repairs continue into spring.
In a statement, the Welsh government described the news as extremely disappointing, but said the bridge requires significant maintenance to ensure it "continues safely for the next 200 years".
