Road closures in place as resurfacing work begins

Temporary road closures will be in place in Wolverhampton as the council starts work to fix the city's potholes.

Night-time resurfacing will begin on Neachells Lane on Monday evening, with a closure in place for vehicles between 19:00 and 05:00 BST until 25 July.

The road will be shut in both directions from Wednesfield Way to its junction with Planetary Road.

Planetary Road will also be shut in both directions at its junction with Neachells Lane.

City of Wolverhampton Council said it was also carrying out resurfacing works on some of its busiest roads to keep them in good condition for longer - meaning fewer pothole repairs would be needed in the future.

It claimed it would fix 7,500 potholes in the city this year.

A diversion is in place for drivers, who will be asked to travel through Wednesfield Way, Deans Road and Willenhall Road instead

Work will continue in Neachells Lane between High Street and Alfred Squire Rd/March End Road from 09:30 to 15:30 until Friday 18 July.

From 16 July until 30 July Neachells Lane will also temporarily close in both directions from Planetary Road to the side of Travis Perkins during the same hours.
