spokesperson for Cardiff University has confirmed that the work is now due to be completed by Friday, March 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Ashley Wood revealed that he was emailed by Cardiff Council on February 22, stating that the bridge would be reopened today, February 26, before being told yesterday that more repair work is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe council confirming the reopening before the inspections were complete is unfortunate by itself, but the messaging has appeared confused throughout the closure,\u201d said the Gabalfa councillor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further confusion has arisen, with both the council and the university stating that the other organisation is responsible for setting the reopening date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

Council.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the community say they are frustrated by the delays and lack of information, with residents having to walk to alternative bridges 1km away to the north and, to the south, 1.5km away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedestrians and cyclists are in close contact on the footpath, which carries the A48 Western Avenue, and is situated next to a busy four-lane road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Millennium Bridge has proved to be busy, with many people <a

decision was necessary on social distancing grounds, that the bridge was too narrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYet after a year we are now told the bridge can be reopened despite currently being in the top tier of Covid restrictions, with the state of repair being given as the reason for why it is not open,\u201d said Councillor Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The council decided to close the bridge over the River Taff in Bute Park last April, after people failed to follow social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm damage last year meant that significant structural repairs would be needed, including fixing some of the mesh panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More issues were then uncovered due to fire damage after the original condition survey, with poor weather delaying the reopening date
