Cardiff commuters, brace yourselves for a frustrating journey! A major route, the A4232, is currently experiencing significant disruptions, causing long queues and travel headaches. But here's the catch: it's only partially blocked, leaving drivers puzzled and frustrated.
The issue lies near Capel Llanilltern, where an obstruction has slowed down traffic on the southbound A4232. This has led to a ripple effect, causing delays between the M4 J33 (Cardiff West) and the A4232 / A48 / A4050 junction at Culver House Cross, The Downs.
Traffic monitoring system Inrix confirms: "A4232 Southbound is partially blocked, causing slow traffic due to the obstruction."
And here's the part that might spark some debate: while the obstruction has caused significant delays, the road is not entirely closed. This has left some drivers wondering about the cause and the potential solutions.
