Significant Flood Prevention Works Set to Disrupt Traffic on Lamby Way in Cardiff
Months of disruption are anticipated for motorists using Lamby Way in Rumney, Cardiff, as essential flood prevention works are set to commence on September 20. The works aim to enhance flood defences in the area, but motorists should prepare for delays and significant alterations to traffic flow.
Following the initiation of the project, temporary traffic signals will be established between the Southern Way and Lamby Way roundabouts. These signals are expected to remain in place until late February 2027, potentially affecting traffic in both directions.
As part of the traffic management plan, a lane closure will be implemented at the Lamby Way roundabout starting on September 20. This will be followed by major piling works towards the Lamby Way bridge, scheduled to take place between October 5 and December 11.
In December, night closures are planned from December 14 to December 23, during which piling equipment will be removed, and pile cap installation will occur. A temporary shutdown, allowing for minimal traffic management, will take place during the Christmas period from Christmas Eve until January 3.
Subsequent to the holiday period, handrail installation and the removal of works equipment are scheduled between February 8 and February 26. A dedicated traffic management contractor will oversee the site, with measures in place to monitor traffic flow and adjust signals to mitigate congestion.
Local updates have been shared by the Rumney Labour News Facebook Group, indicating that while the works will cause extensive traffic management and potential delays, they are vital for the successful implementation of the flood prevention scheme while ensuring that access to the route is maintained.
Residents and motorists are advised to stay informed about potential changes and plan their journeys with extra time in mind as the works progress.
