Newport Road

Until 1971 Newport Road was part of the main A48 route through South Wales (via Cardiff city centre).

On 19 November 1971 the route was renumbered when the A48 was re-routed along the Eastern Avenue dual carriageway to the north.

[1] Notable landmarks on Newport Road include the Cardiff Royal Infirmary (CRI), built in 1884.

[7] In 2019, the road was closed for filming the science fiction Infinite starring Mark Wahlberg, using it as a street in New York City.h[8]
