Traffic in Cardiff due to failed car park barrier

On the A48 Western Avenue, there’s queueing traffic on entry slip road from Gabalfa Interchange, heading onto the University Hospital of Wales site from the A48 Western Avenue Eastbound at A469 Whitchurch Road / A470 North Road (Gabalfa Interchange). The congestion is leading onto the A469 Caerphilly Road to Heathwood Road / Birchgrove Road and on A470 Merthyr Road to The Philog.
It’s because a car park barrier at the hospital has failed, causing tail-backs around the campus on Academic Avenue and The Gateway. The delays are having a knock-on affect for surrounding roads.
