Motorists advised to check A34 Stafford traffic management changes as project enters new phase 

1 min read

A multi-million-pound road and transport improvement scheme is moving ahead with new traffic management changes coming into place.

The scheme will see improvements from the A34 Weeping Cross to the Queensville island in Stafford.  

Staffordshire County Council says that the work needs to take place now due to national funding requirements and once completed the road surface will last for 20 to 30 years. 

The council is advising people to visit its A34 webpage to find out more about latest traffic management.

Work started on the A34 at the Weeping Cross roundabouts at the beginning of July. As part of the current phase there will be a two-week closure of the junction of Wildwood Drive with the A34 Cannock Road.  

Over the next two weekends there will be daytime closures of the inbound section of Baswich Lane from the Weeping Cross roundabout for 150 metres.  

These closures will be in place between 6.30am and 6pm tomorrow and Sunday, August 3 and 4, and next weekend, August 10 and 11. 

Weeping Cross Milford Road will be closed for a 150-metre section travelling out of town from Monday August 12 to Wednesday August 21, meaning vehicles will only be able to travel towards the roundabout. 

A one-way closure will be in place along the A34 Radford Bank, allowing traffic to travel towards town only for four months from September 2 and there will be some full night-time closures for resurfacing. 

Overnight closures on the Weeping Cross roundabouts will be in place from mid-September, with details and dates to be confirmed imminently.  

The scheme will 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.
