Yes the work needs doing, i don't think anyone other than @kyoto49 could argue with that.
Many people might wonder, however, why the work couldn't have been tagged on to the end of the TWO YEARS or roadworks that STWA did though and saved all the added stress and damage to local business.

Probably been done already but -
That'll teach the buggers. Coming over here & taking our jobs, houses, benefits & now the bloody traffic lights. At least we got those back without brexit.All the traffic lights along Foregate Street have been taken off their poles today!!! Good riddance!!!

Shame. I gather it could be seen from the ISS, though seemingly not by the majority of muppets who use Radford Bank and kept driving into it.

A SECTION of a Stafford town centre road will be closed from Sunday as part of a £114,000 improvement project at a busy junction.
Resurfacing, drain and kerb repairs are being carried out at the junction of the A34 Lichfield Road and Riverway.
From this Sunday, the southbound lane of Riverway will be closed for a 100 metre stretch from the A34 junction. Temporary traffic lights will also be in operation on the A34 Lichfield Road.
The main resurfacing work will be carried out overnight, between 7pm and 7am from Monday, March 20 to Friday, March 24, and all work is due to finish by Monday, March 27.

Staffordshire County Council's highways leader Mark Deaville said: "Lichfield Road is a busy route into Stafford and we're keen to carry out these essential improvements as quickly as possible. We're carrying out the main resurfacing work overnight to minimise disruption.
"It will also be necessary to close a short section of the southbound section of Riverway. We'd urge people to allow additional time for their journeys if travelling in the area and plan alternative routes if possible.
"We would like to thank people in advance for their patience."
Safe to assume all traffic will be sent down St Leonards next week then.

Amey and Severn Trent moved out months ago. All the traffic mayhem is being caused by an increasing army of road workers that have 'gone rogue'

It will if Lichfield Road is going to be closed at night too. Where else will they divert traffic?

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
Saw the signs today, didn't realise they were shutting Lichfield Road in the evening. Won't be good at all.

Ticketing people on Mill Street or surrounding Riverside who've overstayed by 1 minute.
It's where the big profits are to be made.
One ticket on a transporter that's bringing half of town to a standstill (again) isn't worth the shoe-leather.
