A computer generated image of a new proposed pedestrian and cycle bridge between The Marl and Hamadryad Park. It has an area that boats may pass underneath.
  • A computer generated image of a wheelchair user and an additional person using the bridge. This image also shows the curvature of the structure of the bridge and the ramp to allow for boats to pass underneath.
  • A computer generated image of a cycle user and pedestrians using the bridge together. This image also shows the ramp to allow for boats to pass underneath as well as seating on the bridge.
  • A computer generated image of a cycle user and pedestrians using the bridge together. This image also shows the lights built into the hand rails of the bridge to ensure the bridge is lit at night.
  • A computer generated image of the entrance to the bridge from The Marl. The area is paved and shows that the bridge will be split into cycle lanes and pedestrian walk ways.
  • A computer generated image of the whole of the bridge, showing the cycle lanes, pedestrian path, seating and the ramp of the bridge to allow for boats to pass underneath. It also shows how the bridge will join to Hamadryad Park, with paving and ramps.
  • A computer generated image of the bridge that shows that the bridge will be split into cycle lanes and pedestrian walk ways. This image also shows the handrails and the fence either side of the bridge.

Cardiff Council is developing exciting plans for a new pedestrian and cycle bridge across the River Taff in Cardiff.

In late 2022 we ran a public consultation to showcase our emerging plans for the new bridge and these were well received by the local community.  Since then, we’ve been progressing our plans and taking account of the feedback received.

In late 2024 we also ran a pre-application consultation where the local and wider community were able to give their input before the designs are submitted to the local planning authority.

On 4th June 2026 plans were approved at Cardiff Council’s Planning Committee. A funding strategy has yet to be confirmed but it will be developed as part of the next stage of the scheme.
