The A4226 has, since the end of the 1970s, connected Cardiff Airport – from an end-on roundabout junction with the B4265 – to Sycamore Cross on the A48 at Bonvilston, west of Cardiff, running by way of Weycock Cross on the northwestern outskirts of Barry, where the road turns left at a roundabout. From Weycock, a branch continues eastward to meet the A4050 Barry to Culverhouse Cross road at Colcot.
The A4226 parallels a former stretch of the B4265 between the two roundabouts serving the airport, then follows that route's old itinerary east and along the branch to Colcot. The route from Weycock north to Bonvilston is that of the former main section of the B4266.
