Residents are worried about transport 'chaos' ahead of the 18-month closure of a junction in Canton to make way for a housebuilding project. Cardiff council has announced the closure of the top of Pembroke Road, near the junction with Clive Road, after planning permission was granted for affordable housing to be built on the former site of the Duke of Clarence pub.
A spokesperson confirmed that the section of road will be closed from February 6, and that Clive Road will be kept open. Pembroke Road and one of its pavements will be closed between Clive Road and Egerton Street, with limited access for parking at 152 and 154 Pembroke Road (opposite the building work). The pavement will be shut on one side of the section of road where the houses are being built, and will be open on the rest of the road.
Carl Dee said: "I live opposite where the work will start, where the hell am I going to park? Parking zones in all the surrounding streets." Keith Ball added: "Why so long? This will create traffic chaos."
