Two busy bus stops in Cardiff city centre will close for a year as a key construction phase for the long-awaited bus station begins. Bus stops JM and JN to the rear of Cardiff Central Station will not be in use from Tuesday, September 20, as work begins on building the southern entrance to Cardiff Bus Interchange at Central Square and the car park within the building.
The bus stops are closing due to the part closure of Penarth Road and Saunders Road as the work begins. As part of these works, Saunders Road will be fully reconstructed with new controlled pedestrian crossings, Cardiff council said.
Meanwhile, the section of Penarth Road between Saunders Road and West Canal Wharf, opposite the train station car park will be made one way. It will be restricted to southbound traffic only, with the northbound bus stop removed and a loading bay installed opposite the Clayton Hotel.
