Sustrans Connect2 and Pont y Werin have won the Big Lottery Fund’s: The People’s £50 Million contest!

The proposed cycle and footbridge over the River Ely will improve sustainable access for commuters, residents and tourists travelling between Cardiff and Penarth. The link will also provide a sustainable transport route to and from the International Sports Village in Cardiff Bay which will become an increasingly popular destination as the Ice Rink, Swimming pool and other leisure facilities are due to open over the next few years. The 140 metre bridge will also link up to cycle routes throughout the Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff.

The Connect2 UK-wide project will now improve local travel for everyday journeys in 79 communities across the UK. Pont y Werin is now set to receive £1.15m towards it becoming a reality.

Thank you for supporting and voting Connect2 and Pont y Werin!
