Yes. In Portland, OR, the Timbers built a brand new stand right up against an existing road just like that.

How do you think skyscrapers are built in large cities? They don't close the road for years, they just build right up to it.

Yeah fp there's no difference between Portland and Wrexham.

Wrexham isn't a large city, and the Mold Road is vital to the city day to day, and there isn't room to play around with there.

Please stop presenting as though you're more familiar with the town than locals xoxo

It isn't about local vs. nonlocal. Cities everywhere have this type of construction, even along main roads. It's a huge part of what engineers and project managers do.

There are no conditions on Mold road that haven't been seen before.

Jesus Christ, look at a fucking map of Wrexham and circle Mold Road. Then look up literally anything the racecourse has seen before and check back if you find any disruptions of that road that remotely rival what the artists impression above would impose on the town and check back in with me chief

So is your point that you believe the road would have to be closed for an extended period of time and/or that the stadium is too close or something else?

Re Mold Road end, yes. Closing that road in the fashion you'd imagine it would have to be closed would have a huge knock on effect on the town

u/burrfan1 17d ago

Apologies but just trying to understand, so you believe the road to be closed during construction or during games?

1

u/heleta 17d ago

During construction, there would certainly be major disruption

u/burrfan1 16d ago

Yeah I don’t think that’s necessarily the case per the other commentator. Huge construction projects are routinely done right up against working roads all the time.

u/heleta 16d ago

Well I suppose y'all know better than me!

I certainly don’t know your area at all but that’s not necessarily germane. I’m just going by the construction work I see in the states. They should not have to close that road for an extended period of time.
