CHURCHILL WAY CANAL QUARTER &
CITY CENTRE EAST
Work moves in to phase two which will see work begin on constructing the structures
Knights Brown has been awarded the contract to undertake the Churchill Way and City Centre East project on behalf of Cardiff Council.
Works will begin in February 2022 to uncover and restore the Dock Feeder canal that runs underneath Churchill Way. The canal was constructed in the 1830s to supply fresh water to the docks but was culverted over in 1949 to allow the construction of Churchill Way.
This scheme aims to uncover and restore this section of the canal while also undertaking public realm and highway improvements to the local area.
As part of the project, we will also be completing highway improvements to the roads around Churchill Way and Queen Street Station. The North end of Churchill Way, North of North Edward Street, will be closed to traffic, while Station Terrace will be closed to through traffic but kept open for buses and taxis.
As part of the scheme, trees, shrubs, and benches will be installed around the canal, as well as an amphitheatre-style outdoor stage.
The project forms a key part of the council’s Canal Quarter masterplan in the eastern end of the city centre, and eventually, the canal will extend down to Tyndall Street.
The main construction work for the project began in February 2022 and is due to be completed by Autumn 2023.
