THE Penarth Esplanade and surrounding roads are too close for two days from today due to the BBC filming in the area.
The Esplanade will be closed from 8am until 11.59pm today, Monday, January 22, the road will then be open for nine hours before closing at 9am on Tuesday, January 23 until 11pm.
The closure will be in place from where Rectory Road meets Beach Road and will continue along Southeast along Beach Road.
It will end on Penarth Esplanade near the O/S RNLI Lifeboat Station. Partial road closures will be on Bridgeman Road, from Penarth Esplanade to the junction of Park Road, Penarth.
The closure will be operated by Forrest Traffic Management on behalf of the BBC.
Businesses, residents, pedestrians, and crews at the Penarth Lifeboat station will still be able to access the area during the road closure.
The BBC has not revealed what the show they will be filming is, however, the pier has been redecorated to look like it's screening a Rock Hudson film.
Several shows have been filmed around Penarth before including Dr Who and Casualty.
On Tuesday, January 9, Casualty was caught filming in Penarth which had to be one of the most dramatic shoots we’ve stumbled on so far. The lights camera and action were rolling on Bradenham Place just off town clock roundabout.
