One of the busiest routes into Swansea will be shut overnight for six nights from tonight.
Crews are replacing the worn-out surface on the dual carriageway between Cwmbwrla roundabout and the Wickes roundabout, from 8pm to 6am.
One side will close at a time, so traffic can still get through the other way.
Both carriageways are getting a full resurface.
The work runs Monday to Friday nights, plus Sunday night, according to Swansea Council.
The diversion
The council hasn’t said which side closes on which night.
Its formal closure notice sends diverted traffic via Pentregethin Road and Gendros Crescent.
That’s about 2.3km, and it runs one way only.
Same stretch shut for weeks by the Cwmbwrla flooding
Drivers will know this stretch well.
It spent weeks under a lane closure while contractors cleared the collapsed culvert beneath the old Cwmfelin Club, which had flooded Cwmbwrla roundabout again and again.
The road finally reopened fully in April once both blockages were cleared.
Daytime drivers unaffected
It’s business as usual from 6am to 8pm.
Out late this week? Leave a few extra minutes.
