Loughor bridge, Road bridge in Swansea, Wales
The steel and concrete structure spans across the Loughor Estuary, connecting the eastern town of Gorseinon with the western community of Loughor.
The current bridge, constructed in 1988, replaced earlier structures including a wooden swing bridge from 1833 and a concrete crossing from 1923.
The bridge stands as a symbol of regional development, marking the boundary between Carmarthenshire and Swansea counties with distinct language preferences on road signs.
The A484 road bridge includes pedestrian walkways on both sides and serves as the primary connection for vehicles traveling between Swansea and Carmarthenshire.
The bridge foundations reveal traces of previous crossings during low tide, with old support structures visible in the riverbed below the current span.
