A £110,000 scheme to improve a major route in Lichfield is now under way.
Highways crews from Staffordshire County Council are carrying out essential carriageway reconstruction works on the A515 Lichfield Road, Kings Bromley, from Cherry Lodge to the junction of the A513 Alrewas Road, including a section at the Crawley Lane junction.
The works are scheduled to last 9 days, weather permitting, and are expected to be completed by Thursday 30 October.
Phase one will see crews will be excavating the carriageway under temporary signals between 7.30am and 7pm. These signals may remain overnight to ensure the site remains safe.
Phase two from 27 October will see full daytime closures in place from 7am to 7pm to allow the new road surface to be laid, and new road markings put in place.
The works are scheduled to commence on Monday 20 October 2025 and are expected to be completed by Thursday 30 October 2025, lasting a total of nine days.
The closure will extend from Bradbury Lane to the A513 Alrewas Road junction. A signed diversion route will be provided.
Works have been scheduled during the school holidays to minimise disruption. Emergency access will be maintained, as will pedestrian access. Waste and recycling collections will continue as normal.
Peter Mason, Staffordshire County Council Cabinet Member for Strategic Highways said:
“This is one of the major routes into Lichfield, and our crews will be doing their best to minimise disruption wherever possible. This includes carrying out the works in the school holidays when traffic is lighter, and working from 7am to 7pm to get the job done on time.
“These works are part of our new approach to managing our network, to ensure we invest in local infrastructure and keep Staffordshire moving. These improvements are essential for the safety and longevity of our roads. We appreciate residents’ patience and cooperation as we work to complete the project as quickly and safely as possible.”
