A major Cardiff road is set to re-open to two-way traffic after being made one-way for over a year while major works have been carried out. Tudor street in Riverside has been one-way since the beginning of August last year as part of a multi-million pound project by Cardiff Council to carry out a range of improvements.
The scheme, which has seen shops receive new shop fronts, windows, and a fresh lick of paint, was announced by the council in July last year. Other improvements included are wider pavements, new LED street lights, on-street parking for customers, a new two-way segregated cycle lane, and sustainable drainage with rain gardens.
However, while some are glad to see the street get a makeover, others have previously suggested that the council is 'focusing on the wrong problem.' Harvi Patel, the proprietor of Texaco Garage on the street, said: "It's nice to see the roads are getting improved. Whether or not this project will change the opinion of this street, we will have to wait to see people use it and that will tell the real story.
