(well...almost, it seems motorists will still have to drive through the steel works and alongside the travellers camp @ Rover Way to get to the Lamby Way roundabout/Eastern Ave)

This is how the council works, money first think later. Look at how they want to increase the population of cardiff by a third again. Loads of houses, any new roads, rail, trams, schools etc.....don't be silly. The traffic will end up worse than Bristol soon.
Infrastructure in Cardiff??!! Next we'll have a competent manager!
If ever there was a case for a 'cut and cover' tunnel then this is it!
What a great first impression of Cardiff this is going to be for tourists
In fairness the Council tried to sort out the roads in Cardiff 40 years ago. Anyone remember the Hook Road?
Won't this just move the bottleneck to Rover Way/ Southern Way

It's not a continuation of the a4232. It a new road from the Queens gate south roundabout to the roundabout at the bottom of ocean way.
Coming from penarth you will still have to come off the roundabout rather than travel over the ski jump
To be fair to the Council they have had plans on the books for a complete dual carriageway extension of the A4232 from the Tunnel up to A48M/M4 on the east side of Cardiff for many years. The funding has just not been forthcoming from the Welsh Government whose responsibility Trunk Roads is. This scheme will no doubt help but is very much a second prize in terms of what was originally envisaged years ago.
When I worked for the Council I was told that the "ski jump" was not part of a continuation of the road from the tunnel to an extension towards the M4 but a Russell Goodway two fingered gesture to the Welsh Assembly who were not providing the funding for a road which, when extended to link to the M4 on the east , would completely encircle Cardiff and improve access.
Someone should have told Russell the Welsh assembly were in the other direction
I did the brickwork on the sides of the flyover to nowhere in 1992, I regard it as my folly
