The water from the stream then passes through private land by the Fairwater public house, south along Cartwright Lane before being discharged into the River Ely.

To ensure the culvert can be replaced between July and September this year, on Wednesday (June 11^th), lane closures will be put in place on St Fagans Road between Cartwright Lane and Fairwater Road for five weeks so utilities can be diverted.

Once the utilities have been diverted, St Fagans Road at the junction with Cartwright Lane will close between July 25^th and September 2^nd so the culvert can be replaced.

Local residents have received a letter about the scheme and a local diversion route will be clearly signposted on street via Cartwright Lane, Bwlch Road, Norbury Road or Doyle Avenue.

Cllr Norma Mackie, Cabinet Member for Waste, Street Scene & Environmental Services at Cardiff Council said:” This scheme involves essential work on the highway to ensure that water from the stream can be channelled under the road. Due to the age of the structure, it must be replaced to ensure that it does not fail.

“Due to the possible disruption this work will cause, the culvert is being replaced during the summer holidays when there is less traffic on the highway network. A diversion route has been put in place for local residents to navigate around the works and we have also been working with bus companies to reduce the impact on their services. Those who do not live locally are advised to use main routes, such as the A48, Cowbridge Road West, Western Avenue and Llantrisant Road. We would like to thank residents for their patience while this essential work takes place.”
