This sign is on the western side of the Loughor Bridge. To the left is a section of the Loughor Viaduct - this short section of the original viaduct was lifted from the riverbed and mounted, high and dry, at a strategic point near the main Swansea-Llanelli highway, where it is now a place of pilgrimage for fans of railway engineering. This Victorian remnant is in a protective compound between the road and the rail line it used to serve, and an information board in English and Welsh provides a full account of the history of the viaduct. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/loughor-viaduct
