🚨 Heads up, Cardiff! A major route in the city is causing chaos after a second sinkhole emerged on Maes-Y-Coed Road in the Heath area. This unexpected roadblock was discovered on Sunday morning, forcing closures in both directions and leading to serious traffic delays in the vicinity. 🚗💥
Emergency services have cordoned off the stretch from Ton Yr Ywen Primary School to just before Jubilee Gardens. Traffic’s a nightmare, with reports showing heavy delays on the A469 Caerphilly Road Southbound near Maes-Y-Coed and Ty-Wern Road. If you’re out and about, it might be wise to plan an alternate route! 🛑
Local residents are getting worried, especially since a similar incident happened just months ago in August, further down the very same road. What’s going on beneath our streets? 🤔
Voices from the community have been expressing concerns on social media. Kevin shared, “I use this road a lot and I’m no engineer, but you can plainly see there are major problems here all the way from Tesco to Lidl. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a car disappear.” Meanwhile, Andrew pointed out potential risks to nearby homes, wondering if more survey work is needed. 🏘️🕳️
Stay safe and keep your eyes peeled for updates as authorities work to sort out this situation. Let’s hope the earth stays put! 🌍✋
