A busy road in Swansea is to close for two months. Swansea Council has announced that Brynmill Lane will be closed from Monday, January 26 to all vehicle traffic, although access for emergency vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained.
It is to allow for Wales and West Utilities to undertake gas mains replacement works. Council notices warn the maximum duration of the order is 18 months, but that it is anticipated the work will take 61 days to complete.
It will affect Brynmill Lane in a north-westerly direction from its junction with Bryn Road to its junction with A4118 Gower Road, a distance of approximately 1km. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here.
The alternative route for vehicular traffic will be via the A4118 Gower Road, De La Beche Road, A4216 Sketty Park Road, A4216 Sketty Lane and A4067 Mumbles Road, a distance of approximately 3km.
This route will operate in the opposite direction.
Elsewhere in the city, a temporary road closure will be in place at A4217 Pentrechwyth bypass in Bonymaen from Sunday, January 18 for one to five days, to allow the council's highway maintenance team to undertake litter picking, pothole repairs and sidings works.
And from Wednesday, January 21, there will be a temporary road closure at Worcester Place in the city centre for three to five days to allow Wales and West Utilities to lay a new gas main.
