Highways improvements in Blythe Bridge
A major scheme is underway
Staffordshire County Council’s highways teams will be carrying out essential road and pavement resurfacing work along with drainage repairs and kerbing on the A521 Uttoxeter Road.
The resurfacing work will help extend the life of the road and is part of a wider £5.2 million investment to improve some of the county’s key roads.
To ensure the work can be carried out safely, temporary traffic lights will be in place until 13 January 2023. Following this, from 14th January to 17th May 2023 the road will be closed with a diversion in place via the A50.
David Williams, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport at Staffordshire County Council, said:
“Good roads are important for residents, motorists and of course the economy and it is important to invest in keeping them safe and well maintained.
“This is an important scheme for the town which will extend the life of the road and keep it in good condition. It’s part of a wider multi-million pound investment in some of our major gateways into towns and villages.
“Highways crews will be doing everything they can to minimise any inconvenience during the works and we would like to thank people in advance for their co-operation.”
Work is expected to be complete next May.
