TheA4161 is a main road inCardiff,Wales,United Kingdom. The main purpose of the road is to link thecity centre with theM4 motorway in the west at junction 33, and in the east with theA48(M) motorway atSt Mellons.
The 1923 route of the A48 was the main east–west link in south Wales. The A48 in Cardiff was re-numbered to the A4161 on 19 November 1971 when the Eastern Avenuedual carriageway became the A48.[1] By 2 November 1975, Queen Street was partly pedestrianised and 2 subways were opened under North Road and Boulevard de Nantes[1] to allow the A4161 then to move from Queen Street to Dumfries Place, Stuttgarter Strasse, Boulevard De Nantes. The A48 section between Rumney andSt Mellons later became the B4487 andSouthern Way (A4232) was built in 1978.[2]
