This project would see the construction of a dual carriageway that would improve access to Cardiff Bay, the Cardiff Central Enterprise Zone (CCEZ) from the M4 to the east of Cardiff and contribute to enhancing connections within the Cardiff City Region.

The proposed works involve the provision of a dual carriageway between Queens Gate Roundabout to the Ocean Way Roundabout to the east. Due to the current layout of an existing dockland access road, two level crossings and a railway line to the neighbouring Celsa site, the alignment will require a high skew bridge to accommodate these.
