A major Swansea road is to be closed in the evenings over the coming days, with motorists being warned of disruption ahead. A section of Townhill Road, in a south westerly direction from its junction with Gors Avenue to its junction with Gwent Road, will be closed between 6pm and midnight from now until Friday, February 3.
The closure, which came into effect on Sunday night, covers a distance of approximately 1.3 kilometres, and the alternative route for traffic will be via Gors Avenue and Gwent Road. There will be no access or egress to and from Townhill Road at its junctions with Elgen Crescent, Teilo Road, Emlyn Road, Mayhill Road, Alun Road, Carig Road, Cadrawd Road, Tegid Road, and Granogwen Road.
Access for emergency vehicles and pedestrians, however, will be maintained at all times throughout the periods of closure, which will be in place to allow the council's maintenance teams to resurface the road.
