| Work Detail |
Stafford in the UK is to benefit from a major new road link.A major Stafford road and transport improvement scheme is reaching a significant milestone, with two-way traffic returning to a key route.
The scheme on the A34 from Weeping Cross towards the town centre will see improvements from the Weeping Cross roundabouts to the Queensville island and then to Queensway near the town centre next year. Surfacing of both Weeping Cross roundabouts and vital strengthening of both Radford Bridge and Queensville rail bridge was completed recently.
Included in the scheme are road and footway resurfacing, new pedestrian crossings and cycleways and bridge maintenance.
For work to be carried out safely, a one-way traffic operation was needed on the Radford Bank stretch towards town, with a one-way operation towards Baswich on Baswich Lane.
Surfacing of Radford Bank will take place next spring when the weather conditions will help to make the surfacing more durable. This will be done with a series of overnight closures of Radford Bank and part of Queensville. In January work will begin on Queensville roundabout, which will involve narrowing of lanes.
Work needs to take place now due to national funding requirements. Once completed the road surface will last for between 20 and 30 years. |
