Cwmbwrla Roundabout has been closed once again due to flooding, as South West Wales braces for heavy rain under an amber weather warning issued by the Met Office.
Swansea Council confirmed the closure early Monday morning, citing rising water levels on the road surface around the roundabout.
“We have closed the roundabout as a precaution and to prevent motorists from attempting to drive through and get into trouble,” the council said in a social media post. “We will continue to monitor during the day and reopen as soon as water levels have reduced.”
The closure comes just days after the Met Office upgraded its warning for the region, with forecasters predicting widespread disruption from persistent rainfall. Read our full weather warning coverage.
A recurring issue
Cwmbwrla Roundabout has faced repeated closures over the past year, with residents and councillors raising concerns about drainage and infrastructure failures.
Previous flooding incidents have been linked to a collapsed culvert, not surface drains — a distinction confirmed by the council following earlier clean-up operations.
The nearby Cwmfelin Social Club, which sat on the edge of a giant sinkhole for two years, was recently demolished — part of wider efforts to stabilise the area.
