One-way system to be introduced on Swansea's Kingsway

There have been a number of serious accidents on the Kingsway over the past few years

Following a number of deaths and serious accidents on a main route through Swansea, a new one-way system will be introduced in the autumn.

The £200,000 work on Kingsway will include new signs, re-marking and remodelling of the road.

Safety barriers were installed after the death of Sgt Louise Lucas in March, to stop pedestrians crossing.

Another man was hit by a bus on 4 August, while Daniel Foss, 37, died in 2013.

Swansea council is also considering introducing a dedicated cycle track as part of the changes.

It said the work to prevent public transport travelling in both directions is a pre-cursor to more detailed plans to redevelop the route as a business district.
