A major road and transport improvement scheme in Stafford is approaching a significant stage with night-time traffic management changes in place from September 16.
The overall scheme will see improvements from the A34 Weeping Cross to the Queensville island.
This phase will see final surfacing to complete works at Weeping Cross. The next phase to Radford Bank will continue in daytime while the overnight work takes place at Weeping Cross.
It will then be followed by works on the section from Queensville to Queensway next spring.
This includes road and footway resurfacing from the junction into the town centre, new pedestrian crossings and cycleways. There will also be maintenance of the Grade II Listed Radford River Bridge.
From Monday, 16 September there will be three-and-a-half weeks’ night-time full closures of both the Weeping Cross roundabouts, over a four-and-a-half-week period. This will enable resurfacing and lining to take place.
Closures will be in place between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday only. None will be in place on Saturday or Sunday nights.
Staffordshire County Council’s strategic cabinet member for highways Mark Deaville said: “This project will bring considerable and lasting improvements to one of the major routes into Stafford, but we do understand people’s concerns over this ongoing disruption.”
