Traffic Updates
This crucial stretch, from Guildford Street to Station Terrace near Cardiff Queen Street station, remains closed to both vehicles and pedestrians. The disruption has cut off access to the 388-space Capitol shopping centre car park and left several bus stops in limbo. 🚌🚫

Local businesses, like Bomber’s Sandwich House, are feeling the pinch. Daniella Page, the owner, mentioned the impact on her commute, “I usually park at Capitol, but with it shut, I’m forced into more expensive parking at St David’s or tricky public transport.”

Cardiff Council assures that they’re on top of things! Building control officers have assessed the damage, but the area remains closed for now. The council is working closely with the property owner to speed up repairs, ensuring safety first! 🏗️

South Wales Police have confirmed the closure is due to building damage from high winds, and they’ve advised avoiding the area if possible. Your patience and alternative route planning are much appreciated! 🙌

Stay tuned for updates as efforts continue to fix the issue and get Cardiff moving smoothly again. 📢✨
