Roadworks in Staffordshire Moorlands

As a part of the ongoing Structural Maintenance works on the A520 X A52 Cellarhead junction, Staffordshire County Council have scheduled significant resurfacing works throughout the location as a part of the £2,000,000 investment in the local area. The team will be replacing ironwork where necessary, replacing damaged kerbs and resurfacing the carriageway. The works will be conducted under lane closures, and road closures for the resurfacing of the carriageway.

When are the works taking place?

The work will commence in Mid-March 2027

How long will the works take?

Approximately 3 Months.

Will I be able to access my home/business?

For the majority of the works access to businesses and properties will be maintained where safe. Although there will be phased daytime/night-time road closures throughout the works where access arrangements will be made. The exact phasing for these road closures will be confirmed at a later date.

Access to the surrounding roads for residents will be maintained for the majority of the scheme. Delays must be expected during resurfacing phases.

During the road closures, a diversion route will be in place for properties outside the workspace, no through traffic will be permitted.

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).
