The team building a new cancer centre in the north of Cardiff has apologised for traffic disruption during the first week of major roadworks. There were reports of long queues and disruption on Monday evening and Tuesday morning as work to build a new access point for construction vehicles gets under way.
The Velindre team admitted there had been "significant delays" and said they were working with the contractor to improvement the situation. Traffic disruption and the amount of construction traffic in Park Road, which leads from the construction site entrance at Whitchurch Hospital to junction 32 of the M4 at Coryton, has long been a concern for protesters who are against the development.
A new traffic management scheme started on one of the main routes through Whitchurch on Monday, October 24, but a broken-down bus and a crash on the M4 that evening saw long queues build up on some of the main roads in the area. A statement from Velindre Matters said: "A new traffic management scheme involves temporary traffic lights to ensure both the safety of residents and drivers alongside allowing important highway works to take place.
