A road review recommends parking the plan as all major road building in Wales is scrapped.
"If there is a problem on the bridge then the impact is detrimental. For our patients and customers, it keeps them on the island."Rhian Sinnott, who runs Llangefni gift shop Cain, claimed if one of the bridges closes it created "havoc" on the island.
She said: "There's just too much traffic and that stops a lot of customers crossing over on to the island.Image caption,Also scrapped is the so-called 'red route' through Flintshire.Robert Hodgkinson, who farms Tyn y Coed, near Northop, said the planned new road would have gone straight through his land.Adrian Lloyd Jones, of North Wales Wildlife Trust, said bats, barn owls, badgers and otters would have all been affected by the road.
"We need a package of measures and funding to alleviate the impact of traffic congestion on the local economy, improve air quality and invest in transport infrastructure and services."
