      Photos show two huge cranes tangled together on the construction site of Cardiff’s new bus station.

      The incident is thought to have happened while the site was closed between the evening of Wednesday, January 27, and Thursday, January 28.

      Developers on the site have confirmed that fortunately nobody was injured in the incident – but an investigation is underway.

      Cardiff has been without a main bus station since 2015. Work to replace it with a new one has since been plagued by delays.

      In December, it was reported that building firm ISG was expected to deliver the Interchange by the summer of 2022, although it was not expected to be ready for passengers or occupants until the summer of 2023.

      Fortunately nobody was injured in the incident

      After the construction is finished the building will be handed to Transport for Wales. After a six to nine month fit out the bus station should then be ready for passengers to use.

      The building is the latest in Central Square, which has seen a huge overhaul in recent years including the addition of the new BBC Wales headquarters.

      Plans were changed for the bus station in March to add two more storeys on top of the south side of the bus station.

      The Welsh Government has spent £15m buying land for the bus station and will pay £15m to fit out the building.

      Last week, new pictures showed how the much-anticipated hub is coming along and how the project is making impressive progress while the city remains in lockdown.

      The new pictures showed new floors of the building reaching upwards and the outside the building beginning to take shape.

      Speaking on this morning’s incident a Welsh Government spokesman said: “We were made aware of an incident involving two cranes at Cardiff Central interchange by the developer and contracting authority Rightacres Partnership. We understand an investigation is underway with a full report to be issued shortly.”

      What do you think of the plans for the bus station? You can leave your comments here.

      A spokesperson for Rightacres devlopers said: “I confirm we have received an initial report from the main contractor that an incident occurred at some time between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning involving two of the cranes on site becoming entangled.

      “An investigation is currently being undertaken in compliance with health & safety protocols and we are expecting a full report as soon possible.

      “Nobody was injured and no damage has been caused to the building. Appropriate checks to the two cranes are also being carried out.”
