A main road through Gower has reopened after a sinkhole the size of three houses appeared beneath it.
The void was found below south Gower Road between Nicholaston Farm in Penmaen and the turn-off to Oxwich on Wednesday, September 30.
Swansea Council closed the road, saying it was at risk of "imminent collapse" as the large hole lay just a few feet below the surface and extended for the whole width of the road.
Perriswood Archery and Falconry Centre is located just off the affected area of road.
Speaking in October, owner Brian Williams said it was a double blow for the business after a difficult financial year because of coronavirus.
Now, the 60-year-old said he was pleased to see the road open so promptly.
He said: "To be fair the workers have done well and have worked through some really bad weather, they've done a good job and it's perfect timing for it to reopen as we come out of lockdown.
"We can reopen again to the same restrictions we had in the summer, with social distancing and sanitising. It means we'll have a dramatic reduction in capacity, but we are open.
"The road closure had a massive impact on us before the fire-break lockdown. It was closed both sides of us. It was a double whammy for us as we were already dramatically reduced because local lockdown in Swansea, meaning people from outside the area could not visit us."
Contractors and specialist geotechnical consultants had been on site since October in an effort to repair the road and get it reopened as quickly as possible.
The cause of the sinkhole was surface water running off the adjacent farmland and was made worse by the presence of smaller holes in the rock beneath the road.
The repairs have included the creation of a new drainage system to help direct water away from the road surface.

Mark Thomas, cabinet member for environment enhancement and infrastructure management, said: "Early fears that the subsidence has been caused by the large voids deep in the ground were fortunately not the case. However, running water had created some smaller voids much nearer the road surface and it was this issue that had caused the problem.
"We also needed to develop a new drainage system so that the problem did not return.
"I'm pleased we have now been able to reinstate the road, which our contractors have done as quickly as possible.
"I'd like to thank motorists for the patience they have shown while we have completed these works and also thank our highways staff for the hard work and effort put in to get the road open again."
