Capita Property and Infrastructure has been chosen by the Welsh Government to design a road linking Cardiff Bay to the M4, the building of which will cost £27.3 million.

Capita will be cooperating with Dawnus Construction Holdings and Ferrovial Agroman UK, both of whom have been chosen to build the road, which is expected to open in December 2016.

Capita Property and Infrastructure’s business director, James Allard, expressed enthusiasm over what the road will do to help residents of Cardiff Bay: “This project will create a seamless route from the M4 to the eastern end of Cardiff Bay, which will improve journey times and help ease congestion in the city centre.

"By improving infrastructure in the area, the scheme will also bring real business and development opportunities to this thriving city, and it is exciting that Capita is at the heart of this project.”
