Fabian Way delays as drivers face frustration with a two-week roadworks project underway – Wales Online
Motorists travelling on Fabian Way in Swansea are encountering delays and frustration due to a two-week roadworks project that commenced on Monday, January 27. The project aims to carry out essential repair works on the A483 Fabian Way westbound carriageway, specifically between Elba Crescent and Swansea University’s Bay campus. The roadworks are necessary to maintain the Neath Port Talbot Council’s drainage network that caters to Elba Crescent.
The repair works, being conducted by Neath Port Talbot Council’s highways and drainage services team, have necessitated a temporary single lane closure on the westbound carriageway. The maintenance activity is scheduled between 8 am and 4 pm daily. The initial day of the roadworks saw drivers experiencing significant delays, with reports of traffic jams lasting over an hour. Subsequent days have also seen heavy traffic congestion, prompting one driver to describe Fabian Way as “gridlocked” near the Amazon area.
In response to the disruptions, a spokesperson from Neath Port Talbot Council reassured the public that efforts were underway to minimise inconvenience. The Council acknowledged the cooperation and understanding of road users and residents during the repair works. The spokesperson expressed regret for any disruptions caused and affirmed the commitment to complete the project with minimal interference to traffic flow as possible.
Drivers navigating the affected area have advised others to seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion on Fabian Way. Despite the challenges posed by the roadworks, the Council aims to ensure smooth traffic flow and complete the repairs efficiently. The project’s objective is to enhance the infrastructure and ensure the safety and efficiency of the drainage network serving the local community.
The ongoing roadworks on Fabian Way highlight the importance of infrastructure maintenance to ensure road safety and functionality. With the Council’s assurance of minimal disruption and efforts to mitigate inconvenience, residents and motorists can anticipate improved conditions following the completion of the repair project. The community’s cooperation and understanding are vital in facilitating the successful execution of essential maintenance work on key roadways like Fabian Way in Swansea.
