Discussions have taken place to make the route from Ruabon to Oswestry a dual carriageway, as part of a plan to dual the route from Wrexham to Shrewsbury (part of which is the A5 road) in an effort to increase transport links with the M54 motorway.
M54 motorway, a motorway in England also known as the Telford Motorway
The idea of the M54 was originally presented due to the high volumes of traffic on the A5, London to Holyhead road which was largely constructed by civil engineer Thomas Telford in the early 19th century following the route of the Roman Watling Street, which connected Rochester, Kent with Wroxeter, Shropshire.

The road resumes its journey northwards, passing Molineux Stadium (home of Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.) and leaving the city just south of Junction 2 of the M54.
