Swansea’s road repair blitz ramps up as new resurfacing crews hit the streets
The council says an additional £300,000 has been pumped into the programme, allowing teams to tackle more potholes, worn‑out stretches and weather‑damaged routes after weeks of cold, wet conditions.
Fresh resurfacing lined up across the city
A series of busy roads are now earmarked for work in the coming weeks, including key routes in Clydach, Morriston, Fforestfach, Llansamlet, Clase, Bishopston and Uplands.
Locations scheduled for repairs include:
- Ynyspenllwch Road, Clydach (Ffordd Cwmtawe to Clydach)
- Lone Road, Clydach
- Llanllienwen Road, Morriston
- A48, Morriston (J46 to Bryntywod entrance)
- Carmarthen Road, Fforestfach (Ffordd Cynore to Swansea Road)
- Nantong Way, Llansamlet (outside Royal Mail)
- Rheidol Avenue, Clase
- Bishopston Road, Bishopston
- Maes y Gwernen Road and Drive, Cwmrhydyceirw
- Uplands Crescent
The council says full resurfacing has already been completed at a number of high‑traffic spots, including the Peniel Green Road motorway junction.
‘We’re using every resource we’ve got’
Cllr Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment and Infrastructure, said crews were working flat out to keep up with demand.
“We are using all of our resources to tackle as many of the highway repair requests as possible,” he said.
“Full resurfacing work is being completed at key traffic spots including the motorway junction at Peniel Green Road. Our small resurfacing teams are also out tackling large areas of road that have been impacted by the recent cold and wet weather.”

The council says the latest work forms part of the £300,000 pothole and resurfacing blitz announced earlier this winter. According to the authority’s early‑February update, teams filled around 960 potholes in January, with repairs running at “around 100 a day” during the coldest weeks. The same update confirmed that full resurfacing had recently been completed on Peniel Green Road at the M4 junction, along with sections of Frampton Road, Carmarthen Road and Ffynone Road in Uplands.
The council said an extra team had been brought in to “speed up and increase the number of repairs”, with more resurfacing schemes scheduled across the city in the coming weeks as the winter programme continues.
£37m proposed for highways and transport
The council’s proposed budget for 20206/27 is due to be discussed by the council’s cabinet on 19 February. This includes a new Economic Growth Fund which according to the council would include an extra £3m for resurfacing and potholes, taking next year’s roads budget to more than £12m within a wider £37m allocation for highways and transport.

Swansea launches £300k pothole blitz as major M4 roundabout set for overnight resurfacing
The council said more than 760 potholes were filled in December alone, with teams now working “day and night” to keep traffic moving. Some of the busiest periods saw up to 150 new pothole reports a day as ice, snow and heavy rain caused road surfaces to crack and break up.
According to the authority, four repair teams are now travelling the city aiming to fill around 100 potholes a day, with an additional specialist crew drafted in to tackle larger patches where the top layer of road has been stripped away by the weather.
Cllr Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment and Infrastructure, Swansea Council, said the scale of the problem was being felt “right across the country”, but Swansea was “taking action to tackle the problem”.
He said the extra teams would repeat last year’s post‑Christmas campaign, which saw larger surface defects repaired at a rate of one location a day for two months.
The pothole push comes alongside the council’s wider £20m highways investment for 2025/26, which includes major resurfacing already completed in Ynysforgan, Killay, Morriston, West Cross, Birchgrove, Gowerton and Llanmorlais. Recent work has also taken place on the A4118 in South Gower and the A48 Peniel Green Road near the M4.

As part of the same programme, the council confirmed that highways teams will spend the next week resurfacing the main roundabout at M4 junction 44 (Birchgrove) overnight to minimise disruption. A smaller roundabout on the B4625, which links to the westbound M4, will also be renewed.
Cllr Stevens said the junction was “a very busy part of the network” and in need of resurfacing “to keep motorists on the move”.
He added that record investment in the 2025/26 maintenance programme had allowed the council to prioritise full resurfacing schemes in areas most affected by wear and heavy traffic.
Recent resurfacing has also been completed on the A4118 at Parkmill, West Cross Avenue, Woodfield Street in Morriston and Mill Street in Gowerton.
Swansea Council maintains more than 1,000 miles of non‑motorway roads and says engineers carry out regular inspections to identify defects. The public can also report potholes directly, with the council pledging to repair as many as possible within 48 hours.

When I went out with parcels today I thought about the new surface that we have on our street. It's much lighter in colour than the usual asphalt. I wondered if this also means that it reflects more light so is cooler.
Later on I took my IR thermometer out to measure the temperature and sure enough the new light surface was between 35 and 37 C while the black asphalt nearby equally in the sun measured between 39 and 41 C.
This could make city streets and residential areas appreciably more pleasant during the summer. Also given that many square km of our planet are now covered in asphalt changing to a lighter colour could also mean that we reflect more of the sun's energy off the planet.
Having written about this today, I fully expect someone to come along and spray fresh tar over the light coloured stones tomorrow...

There has been a lot of #road #resurfacing around town recently and #cycling is lot smoother over those bits. One particular patch of road, they’ve produced a wider #CycleLane, which is a welcome change.
