Welsh Water will consider options for rusty Swansea bridge after campaigners call for it to be reinstated

A corroded river bridge once used by miners and rugby players in the Swansea Valley may yet be repaired or even replaced - but it depends on the cost.

Welsh Water, which owns the bridge in Clydach, closed it to pedestrians in 2019 for safety reasons following an independent inspection, although it still carries a sewer across the River Tawe.

The closure has affected match day attendance and revenue for Vardre rugby club, whose players and supporters face a detour to pitches the other side of the river from the clubhouse.
