Work to install the bridge started on Saturday

A 400-tonne footbridge is to be lowered into place at a Neath Port Talbot railway station.

Cramic Way, Port Talbot, will be closed for the bridge to be lowered into place over the weekend using one of the largest cranes in the UK.

Work will take place from 09:00 BST on Saturday until midday on Sunday followed by further work next weekend.

Services at Port Talbot Parkway station will face disruption, with replacement bus services running.

The bridge will house a new ticket office, waiting area, information points and steps and lifts to all platforms and forms part of an £11.4m regeneration project at the station.
