Major programme of resurfacing work to begin across Telford and Wrekin
A major programme of resurfacing work is due to begin across Telford and Wrekin on October 3, lasting for approximately six weeks.
The work will take place at a number of roundabouts and other locations and is weather dependent so the programme dates may be subject to change.
Funding for the work has come from the council’s highways capital fund as part of its Pride In Your Community programme to make the borough a better place to live, work and visit.
Road closures will be used at most sites as this allows for works to be completed quickly, safely and efficiently to minimise disruption.
Access for residents and businesses will be maintained throughout the works and, where closures are in force, diversions are in place.
The sites that will be resurfaced are as follows, with likely dates of works. However, the dates are subject to change depending on the weather:
• Halesfield Roundabout: 3-7 October. Work between 7pm and 6am.
• Coppice Farm Roundabout: 10-14 October. Work between 7pm-6am.
• Sutton Hill Roundabout: 17-21 October. Work between 7.30am-5pm.
• St Quentins Roundabout: 24-28 October. Work between 7.30am-10pm.
• Queen Elizabeth Way: 24-31 October. Work between 7.30am-10pm.
• Holyhead Road M54 J7: 31 Oct-4Nov. Work between 7pm-6am.

Councillor Angela McClements, Telford & Wrekin Council’s cabinet member for Transport, said: “These road repairs are being carried out as part of our ongoing work to make the Borough a safe and well maintained place – this is positive news for residents. However, I would like to apologise in aadvance for any inconvenience caused by this extensive programme of works.
“We have drawn up a schedule to keep disruption to a minimum as far as possible and I would like to thank everyone affected in advance for their patience and co-operation.”
