Before the opening of the nearby A48(M) and M4 motorway, the A48 through Castleton was the principal route from Newport to Cardiff, with at times very heavy amounts of traffic. The A48 is quieter now, but a footbridge is still a safe way of avoiding the need to cross a road on which vehicles are travelling at high speed. Signs adjacent to the footbridge give these distances (in miles) Cardiff 7 Newport 5 Marshfield 1.
