Talk:B5433
Route at Brymbo
Some notes with reference to the following, currently appearing in the article on the B5101: >> [The B5101] passes to the east of [Brymbo] village centre, meeting the B5433 again in the process. The original route [...] was further west through the village centre, along a route largely destroyed by the steelworks, now also gone. Old and new routes join at the northern end of the High Street <<
The above-mentioned eastern re-alignment of the B5101 at Brymbo formerly zig-zagged under the railway by Brymbo station: New Road > sharp right into Railway Road (east) > even sharper left (at junction with B5433) into Queen's Road > Coedyfelin Road.
At some stage (later than 1992) this section of the B5101 was "straightened out" to run lower down along Railway Road (west and north) to Coedyfelin Road, and the B5433 was extended along Queen's Road (with the two routes meeting at the Railway Road / Queen's Road / Coedyfelin Road junction).
In 2008 a landslip at the eastern end of Queen's Road led to its closure as a through route, and the 100 metres or so of Railway Road (a.k.a. Station Avenue) running downhill from its junction with Queen's Road became a part of the B5433 -- though one-way uphill/eastbound only owing to concerns over a weak retaining-wall structure.
In April 2015 Wrexham CBC resolved to apply, on cost grounds, for the permanent stopping up of the eastern end of Queen's Road and to make structural and traffic management improvement works to mitigate the effects of this stopping-up (presumably including the restoration of two-way traffic at the lower end of the B5433 Railway Road / Station Avenue).
