CX041 – Structural Maintenance Work on the A520 Main Road/Cheadle Road in Wetley Rocks

Staffordshire County Council will shortly be carrying out significant works at the A520 Main Road/Cheadle Road, as they start work on an £1.3 million investment in the local area. The team will be replacing ironwork where necessary, replacing damaged kerbs, repairing drainage and resurfacing the carriageway. The works will be conducted under lane closures, and nighttime closures for the resurfacing of the carriageway.

When are the works taking place?

The work will commence 30 June 2025.

When will the works be completed?

Approximately 3 Months.

Will I be able to access my home/business?

Due to unforeseen drainage issues and gaps discovered under the carriageway, there will be daytime closures in place from the 21st July for approximately 2 weeks. With nighttime road closures programmed to be in place at a later date as apart of the resurfacing phases of the scheme. This is being implemented during the daytime to ensure the safety of the workforce and public.

Access to the surrounding roads for residents will be maintained for the majority of the scheme, but at times there will be delays in journeys.

During the daytime road closures, a signposted diversion route along the A522 and A52 roads will be in place. During the resurfacing phase, a separate diversion route will be in place using the A520, A523 and A52 roads.

What effect could the works have on me?

We take care to make sure that work is completed with the minimum of disturbance to the local community but as with any major works, some minor traffic delays may occur. Although we will do our best to ensure that noise pollution is kept to a minimum, it is likely that noise will be heard during the working times.

Please take care to plan your journeys and if necessary move vehicles to an accessible location during work phases (public letters will be delivered to affected properties with specific scheme details).
