A proposed scheme to build a new relief road linking Llanrumney to a major Cardiff road has taken a step forward, with plans announced to deliver new community sports facilities as part of the project. Cardiff council are set to consider the plan to construct a new bridge and link road over the Rhymney River which will provide a direct link between Llanrumney and the A48 Eastern Avenue in Pentwyn.
The proposals were made as part of a wider plan to redevelop the Cardiff East Park and Ride site in Llanrumney, with the new road being the first direct route between the area and Eastern Avenue, while it is also hoped it will help reduce traffic flows on residential roads and improve access to public transport for local residents.

A consultation has taken place on the sale and development of three parcels of land in Llanrumney, which will fund the new link road and bridge, alongside Section 106 contributions which are made by developers to contribute to community infrastructure. Through the scheme, there will be investment in local sports facilities, with new pitches and a club house set to be built.
