Burst Water Main

Heol Isaf will be closed to vehicular traffic in both directions in the vicinity of Radyr Comprehensive until Tuesday evening at the earliest. It is possible that the closure will last until Wednesday. The cause is a burst 24 inch water main which washed a big chunk of Heol Isaf away in the early hours of Sunday. Many homes were without water and Welsh Water employees are working to restore supply.

Radyr Comp will be closed until Thursday.

Heol Isaf and Golf Club Lane are likely to be closed for most of the current week. The police have placed a notice at the South end of Golf Club Lane preventing access into the village.

Buses are running from Radyr. Please see the notices placed at bus stops or click Radyr Bus Diversion or go to the Cardiff Bus Website

Update Weds:

Radyr Comprehensive School will be closed to both staff and students for the remainder of this week (up to and including Friday 7 November). The reason for closure is a burst water main on Heol Isaf. This means that, although a water supply has now been restored, a substantial part of Heol Isaf will remain closed with no pedestrian or vehicular access until at least Sunday 9 November. Following consultation with officers from Cardiffs Education and Highways departments, we are advised that, in these circumstances, risks to the health and safety of students, staff and the local community are significant and that it would be unwise to open the school until full access is restored.

The situation will be reviewed on Friday and again during the weekend if necessary in the hope that the school can be reopened on Monday 10 November. A decision about Monday opening will be made as soon as the developing situation becomes clearer. This decision will be notified as soon as possible via the school web-site and local radio stations.

On Wednesday Rod McKerlich said: I am advised that present plan is that Heol Isaf will reopen on Sunday afternoon and I will have an accurate estimate after a further meeting tomorrow.

Update Friday:

The road surface is being applied today and tomorrow (Saturday); lines will be replaced on Sunday and the road will reopen on Sunday afternoon. Only very heavy rain might delay this.

Update Sunday:

Heol Isaf is now open to traffic, but it may take a while for the Diversion signs to be recovered.
