TheA4055 is the main road link betweenCardiff Bay andBarry.
The road goes through the village ofDinas Powys and there has been a call for a by-pass due to the volume of traffic fromBarry to and fromCardiff. However theVale of Glamorgan Council confirmed in June 2007 that the by-pass would have to be funded by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG).[1]
The road was extended in 1988 from the junction of the A4160 to the Ferry Road Interchange of theA4232,[2] this is called theCogan Spur and as such it is also aspur road off the A4232.
The road starts from theCardiff International Sports Village at the Ferry Road Interchange (A4232), then along the Cogan Spur until the junction of Barons Court. From there it goes throughLlandough and Dinas Powys. The road then enters the Barry district ofPalmerstown along Cardiff Road and goes into Weston Square, Gladstone Road, Broad Street, Harbour Road and finally Friars Road inBarry Island.
