Main roads into Swansea city centre are set to be resurfaced as part Swansea Council’s latest highway maintenance plans.
The Council has just published its schedule for road resurfacing schemes for 2025/26, which features more than 30 roads that will be upgraded along all or part of their overall length.
Two major routes included in the upgrade will target parts of Carmarthen Road and Fabian Way.
Further improvements set to be completed between now and March 2026, will be made along Neath Road, Woodfield Street – Morriston, Mill Street – Gowerton, West Cross Avenue, Gors Avenue and Birchgrove Road.
Also included in the newly published list of roads is Mumbles Road, which has recently been completed. The upgrade included a new section of road between the West Cross Inn and Norton Road.
Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment and Infrastructure, said: “Our highway improvement plans for 2025/26 include significant upgrades to well used, popular sections of road throughout the city.
“The roads earmarked for full resurfacing schemes have been prioritised based on regular highway inspections and have been assessed as needing repairs during the next twelve months.
“In most cases, much of the works will be completed during the evenings so that we minimise disruption for the travelling public.”
As well as completing major resurfacing schemes, the Council’s highway maintenance crews will also be completing other road repair programmes with a series of small repair schemes – which target smaller sections of road.
Pothole teams will also be responding to reports from the public with the aim of repairing them within 48hrs.
In 2024/25, the council’s highways maintenance teams repaired more than 5,000 potholes and resurfaced 13km of main road.
Cllr Stevens, added: “Our maintenance teams worked very hard last year and we expect the same commitment this year. The public has also played their part by reporting potholes and other defects to the council so we can respond as quickly as possible.”
