The Welsh Government’s plans to improve the A4226 (Five Mile Lane) between Bonvilston and Cardiff Airport are moving apace with the WG making a recent announcement of its intention to progress the £25 million scheme rapidly. In essence, the plans are likely to revolve around the removal of bends and road widening which, it is hoped, will improve the journey time for commuters along with addressing any road safety issues and improved access to the Enterprise Zone at St Athan and Cardiff Airport. When the work is completed, airport and other traffic from the southwest of the Vale traffic will be directed through St Nicholas. Cameras are to be installed along the route, with the post for two cameras already in place at the bottom of Tumble Hill. These are likely to be complemented with electronic variable signs - and mobile signs. ![]() £3m is currently being spent straightening the road between the airport and St Athan. |
