A main road roundabout north of Stafford will undergo overnight resurfacing for a fortnight from next week.
The developer-funded scheme at the Pets at Home roundabout on the A34 Stone Road begins on Monday 11 August. Resurfacing will take place on weeknights, 8pm to 6am until Friday 22 August. No work will take place overnight on Saturday 16 August or Sunday 17 August.
For work to be carried out safely, the roundabout and section of the A34 between the A513 Redhill roundabout and the A51 Aston roundabout will be closed during the works period. There will be a signed diversion in place via the A5013, A519 and A51.
People will be able to access properties at all times, with those on the northbound section from the Redhill roundabout and those on the southbound section from the Aston roundabout. Residents of the new Partridge Walk and Bertelin Fields homes should access from the Redhill roundabout. Bus services won’t be affected.
Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for strategic highways Peter Mason said:
This resurfacing scheme of the busy Pets at Home roundabout is funded entirely by the developer and has been scheduled to take place overnight and during the school summer break to keep disruption to a minimum.
We’d ask people needing to travel during the closure times to plan ahead and use alternative routes and would like to thank people in advance for their patience.”
