Weekend road closure to hit drivers in Swansea as city project sees major disruption

Construction is continuing on the £49 million project

A major road closure has been announced as construction work takes place for the Skyline Swansea project, with drivers being warned to expect significant disruption.

The work, in the Landore area of the city, will take place from 8am until 5pm on Sunday, November 1, and will see the A4217 completely closed.

When complete, the £49 million project, at Kilvey Hill, will include an accessible cable car, downhill karting ‘luge’ rides, a free-to-access children’s adventure playground, a sky swing, and food and drink facilities – all with sweeping views of Swansea Bay.
