🚦 Heads Up, Cardiff Drivers! 🚦
Big changes are on the horizon as major tram works kick off on 15th June. Cardiff Crossrail is about to transform the way we travel, but it means some disruption in the city centre.
🚋 **What’s Happening?**
Phase 1 of the tram-train route between Cardiff Central and Cardiff Bay will impact traffic, especially around Callaghan Square. While no roads will completely close, expect lane reductions to handle utility diversions under the road.
🔄 **Traffic Changes:**
– Tresilian Way: Two of three lanes eastbound and westbound will close.
– Callaghan Square: One of three lanes eastbound and westbound will close.
🛣️ **Suggested Routes:**
– From the north: Use North Road, Boulevard de Nantes, and Fitzalan Place.
– From the east: Try Newport Road and Glossop Road.
– From the south and west: Opt for the A4232 and Central Link.
🚦 **Phase 1 Highlights:**
– New tram-train link between Cardiff Central and Cardiff Bay.
– Fresh tram platforms at stations.
– Twin-track tramway through Callaghan Square.
– Simplified roads, pedestrian spaces, and eco-friendly drainage.
– Enhanced cycle routes and crossings.
🔧 **Why It Matters:**
This project supports Cardiff’s urban growth and sustainability goals, aiming for a greener, more efficient transport system. Patience will be key as these essential changes roll out.
📅 Keep an eye out for the latest updates and signage as you make your way through the city. Thanks for your patience as we move towards a smarter, connected Cardiff! 🌟
