🚧 **Roadblocks and Chaos in Swansea! 🌧️**
Swansea’s Cwmbwrla roundabout made headlines for all the wrong reasons this week as floodwaters finally receded, revealing a less-than-pleasant surprise! 😲 Video footage showcased the aftermath of the flood, where human faeces were spotted strewn across the road. Locals and commuters found themselves caught in a stinky situation as this main route remained impassable. 🚗🚧
Flooding struck on Sunday afternoon, leaving cars submerged and forcing South Wales Police to redirect traffic towards Pentregethin Road. The chaos didn’t end there, with severe gridlocks reported in Manselton, as frustrated drivers honked their horns in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 🚦📢
Swansea Council issued a statement on Tuesday, advising motorists to seek alternative routes into the city centre due to the southbound lane closure. Clean-up crews are working hard to restore normality and make the roundabout operational again. 🧹🚦
The culprit? A collapsed culvert blamed for the chaos, which previously wreaked havoc back in August 2023, causing a massive sinkhole at Cwmfelin Social Club. Repairs have been slow, with the club awaiting demolition before permanent solutions can be attempted. 🛠️⏳
Welsh Water has been on the scene tirelessly assisting in the clean-up and dealing with power outages caused by the flood. Multi-agency efforts have combined to pump out floodwaters, restore power, and get Swansea moving smoothly again. 💪💧
Stay safe, Swansea! Let’s hope for sunnier days ahead. ☀️#SwanseaFlood #CwmbwrlaRoundabout
