Information about the by-pass a few years ago.
These fields are water logged by the torrential rainfall over last few days.
The bypass will cross the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland narrow guage railway twice but officials are confident the work will have little impact on their business.
Anyone who objects to the route has until July 4 to lodge their objection and reasons.
Coun Selwyn Griffiths, who represents the Porthmadog West ward on Gwynedd Council, said: “This is good news for Porthmadog and I hope there will be no delays to enable the scheme to be completed as soon as possible.
“Porthmadog clearly suffers from increasing traffic congestion.
“Since the Cob was widened Porthmadog has become busy with traffic year-round. Reducing through traffic can only benefit the town.”
Porthmadog East ward councillor Ieuan Roberts said he is looking forward to the bypass being completed.
“It will be of great benefit to the town. The congestion of today will become a thing of the past and people will be able to come into town, park and shop much more easily.”
Businessman Louis Naudi of the Royal Sportsman Hotel, Porthmadog said: “I think anything which helps to alleviate the terrible traffic is to be welcomed but we will still have people coming in from the Cob. It is still very busy.
