GORCHYMYN CEFNFFORDD YR A55 (TWNNEL PEN-Y-CLIP, BWRDEISTREF SIROL CONWY) (GWAHARDDIADAU A CHYFYNGIADAU TRAFFIG DROS DRO) 2023

MAE GWEINIDOGION CYMRU wedi gwneud Gorchymyn o dan adran 14 o Ddeddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffyrdd 1984. Mae angen y Gorchymyn er mwyn gwneud gwaith ar gefnffordd yr A55 yn Nhwnnel Pen-y-clip, Conwy, neu gerllaw iddi. 
Effaith y Gorchymyn yw gwneud y canlynol dros dro:
i. cau’r cerbytffyrdd tua’r dwyrain a’r gorllewin, am yn ail â’i gilydd, ar y darn o’r A55 a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 1 i’r Hysbysiad hwn. Bydd gwrthlif yn weithredol yn y lôn allanol o ba un bynnag o’r cerbytffyrdd sy’n aros ar agor i draffig;
ii. gwahardd goddiweddyd ar y darn o gerbytffordd tua’r dwyrain yr A55 ar y pentir a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 2 a rheoli symudiad y traffig drwy fylchau yn y llain ganol (fel a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 5) y ddwy ochr i’r Twnnel, a gaiff ei ailagor yn ystod y gwaith, tra bo’r gwrthlif tua’r dwyrain neu’r gorllewin yn weithredol;
iii. cau’r darn o’r A55 a ddisgrifir ym mharagraff 1 o Atodlen 3 tra bo gwrthlif y gerbytffordd tua’r dwyrain (y pentir) yn weithredol. Ni fydd cerbydau sy’n teithio tua’r gorllewin yn gallu ymuno â’r gefnffordd o Ffordd Bangor. Y llwybr arall yw drwy Gyffordd 16 (Cylchfan y Puffin);
iv. cau’r darn o’r A55 a ddisgrifir ym mharagraff 2 o Atodlen 3 tra bo’r gwrthlif ar y gerbytffordd tua’r gorllewin yn weithredol. Y llwybr arall yw parhau tua’r dwyrain i Gyffordd 16;
v. gosod terfyn cyflymder o 40 mya a/neu 50 mya ar y darnau o’r A55 a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 4; 
vi. gwahardd cerbydau sy’n 3.2 metr o led neu’n lletach rhag mynd ar y darnau o’r A55 a bennir yn Atodlen 6, ac eithrio cerbydau a awdurdodwyd gan Heddlu Gogledd Cymru. Disgrifir y llwybr arall hefyd yn yr Atodlen hon; 
vii. gwahardd beicwyr rhag mynd ar y darnau o’r A55 a bennir yn Atodlen 7. Disgrifir y llwybr arall yn Atodlen 9;
viii.gwahardd cerddwyr rhag mynd ar y darn o’r A55 a bennir yn Atodlen 8. Disgrifir y llwybr arall yn Atodlen 9; 
ix. gwahardd pob cerbyd rhag mynd ar y darnau o’r A55 a bennir yn Atodlen 4. Bydd arwyddion traffig a osodir ymlaen llaw yn dangos y cyfnodau pan fydd y ffordd ar gau, a disgwylir mai am gyfnodau byr y byddant yn para, a hynny yn ôl yr angen. Nid oes angen unrhyw lwybrau dargyfeiriol, ond dylai traffig sy’n dymuno gadael yr A55 wrth Gyffordd 15a, adael wrth Gyffordd 16 (Cylchfan y Puffin) yn lle hynny.
Daw’r Gorchymyn i rym ar 5 Ionawr 2024. Disgwylir y bydd y gwaharddiadau a’r cyfyngiadau dros dro yn weithredol yn ysbeidiol dros nos (19:00 – 07:00 o’r gloch) am gyfnod o 18 mis ar y mwyaf. Bydd hysbysiad ymlaen llaw am y gwaharddiadau a’r cyfyngiadau yn cael ei arddangos cyn pob cyfnod gwaith.
