18 - Hagley Road works start tomorrow

Motorists are reminded that Hagley Road in Stourbridge will be closed to traffic between the ring road and Oldswinford Cross while essential works are carried out.

Following the successful completion of advance works by National Grid Gas during June on a small section of the road, the main works are set to begin tomorrow (Sat July 19).

The works will involve Severn Trent replacing an old sewer pipe and Dudley Council resurfacing the carriageway. The works will run for six to eight weeks through the school summer holidays when traffic volumes are lower in order to cause minimal disruption.

During these combined works from July 19, traffic will be diverted via Heath Lane and Worcester Street.

Councillor Angus Adams, cabinet member for transportation, said:

“The advance works on the small stretch of road near to Oldswinford Cross went very well and we hope these main works will follow suit.

“We are working with National Grid Gas and Severn Trent over the school summer holidays to combine the works to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.”
