Works on a £1.4 million scheme on the busy A34 Stone Road in Stafford have now been completed.
The final phase of works started on August 14, and saw the road from Balfour Grove to Holmcroft Road resurfaced over the course of 6 weeks.
Works included planing off the carriageway, replacing ironwork, resurfacing the road, and finishing off with white lining. Crews completed the works on time, and the road is now fully open to traffic.
The scheme is part of a wider £30 million investment the county council is making into its roads over the next two years. The investment aims to improve major gateways into Staffordshire and is on top of an extra £5 million to fix highways defects across the county.
With the A34 being such a busy road, it was really important to ensure it could reopen on time. Crews worked incredibly hard to ensure that even through some fairly inclement weather, work could continue and the road could reopen on schedule. Feedback so far from local residents has been really positive, and those who regularly use this stretch of the A34 will see and feel the benefit of driving on a brand-new road surface.
