Wolverhampton city centre facing roadworks disruption

MOTORISTS using Wolverhampton city centre during the next three weeks have been warned of possible delays because of new roadworks.

Darlington Street is the next area of the city to benefit as part of the city centre improvements programme.
 
As part of this, a £95,000 carriageway resurfacing programme will begin on Monday (March 14) and last for three weeks.

Overnight working will reduce disruption to a minimum, with the road closed from Chapel Ash Island to Victoria Street between 7pm and 6am each night.
 
A diversion route will be signed from Chapel Ash to Lichfield Street and vice versa.
 
No works will take place over the Easter weekend (Friday, March 25 to Monday March 28).
 
Cllr Peter Bilson, deputy leader and cabinet member for city assets, said: “We are deliberately carrying these works out during nights to minimise disruption.
 
“The dates have also been selected to fit in with the closure of the nearby Civic Centre Car Park and Civic Halls, while those two buildings undergo works.
 
“It is part of the wider multi-million regeneration of Wolverhampton and will support the city centre’s vibrancy as we look to attract further investment.”
