Swansea Council confirmed the closure in a statement issued at 1pm on Saturday, November 22. The affected stretch runs between Walter Road and King Edward Road, and is expected to remain closed for several days while investigations are carried out.

Drivers are being advised to use alternative routes, although surrounding roads remain open. Residents at the northern end of Bryn-y-Mor Road can still access their properties on foot.
