Thread: New Link Road Cardiff Bay

  1. #1

    New Link Road Cardiff Bay

    seems a lot of work just to shave 1.5 Miles off a journey. Worth it ?

    A monumental waste of taxpayers money when we're only 55 years away from self-driving electric hover cars.

    How is it still not open I want to know. Opening date been delayed time and time again and apparently the ribbn was meant to be cut this morning, drove past it earlier and till shut. Looks all ready either end, builders just fannying around doing nothing there now.

    I think it will reduce congestion slightly in the centre because people will be more inclined to go that way rather than down Newport Road to get out of the City but only going to have a big impact if they ever finish it and complete the ring road, i.e. a dual carriageway from the end of the new road, along Rover Way joining up with A48.

    Does that mean building the road through that gypo camp, and bulldozing 'em into the channel?? Hope so....

    Need more than a link road to sort out the traffic in Cardiff. To many cars on the road, the government needs to make it unaffordable for people to drive, unless they can afford to buy a ford focus with go fast Stripes

    I don't know why they developed Cardiff Bay in the first place, it was much better before

    Those of us who use it don't consider it a waste

    It is a waste when there is a perfectly good pavement already in situ.

    I think the clue is in the word 'bridge' - there was no pavement already in place...

    Come back when you know what you are talking about.

    What's happening with the ski jump?
    Or has it been done on the cheap with a roundabout?

    Are we talking about the same bridge in Cardiff Bay? If we are then I'd be really interested in knowing where the existing pathway was already as I never found it, unless you mean Penarth Road...

    I look forward to being enlightened!

    It's a roundabout. But it looks like the potential overpass could still happen. Would be lovely to have a full orbital road around cardiff without having to deal with too many roundabouts and single stretches like Rover Way.

    Re: New Link Road Cardiff Bay

    I would like an orbital ring road hovering just above the sky line of Cardiff with four exits north ,south, east and west , just like a glowing halo .

    We won't need that when the underground hyperloop goes in.
