Road resurfacing work on a major road north of #Stafford are set to take place next week, requiring overnight closures.
The work is taking place on the A34 Stone Road between Redhill roundabout and the new Pets at Home roundabout
Work will take place overnight for up to 10 nights from Monday September 23, 8pm to 6am, excluding Saturday September 28 and Sunday September 29. The road will be closed in both directions during these times between the A51 Aston roundabout and the A513 Redhill roundabout. A signed diversion route in place via A5013, A519, A51.
People will still be able to access properties and businesses with assistance from traffic management teams and bus services will not be affected. The work is funded by Stoford, the company that developed the Pets at Home facility.
Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for strategic highways Mark Deaville said: “These essential surfacing works are taking place on one of Stafford’s key routes and so has been scheduled to minimise disruption.
“We’d ask people to allow extra journey time and apologise for any inconvenience.”

The congestion along Browning Street in rush hour is particularly troublesome recently since the new bypass around the back of Lidl opened. Traffic blocks the junction next to "Forgate Street Mini Market" so vehicles cannot exit. It backs up all along Sandon Road so vehicles can't enter/exit the mini roundabout. Not sure why more cars don't turn left to go alongside the jail and round the roundabout past Sainsbury's that way instead, it'll be much quicker. Obviously the lights at Halfords and Browning Street and road set up aren't optimised at all. Sandon Road near the old Stafford Cinema used to be free of holdups in the morning, not any more.

I guess many will have detoured already to avoid the potholes on crooked bridge road, and I guess quite a few are trying to use the lidl bypass?

They are really dragging it on with goal square. I can't see anything new in the last 2 weeks, and the coned off inside lane is just used for their parking.

Looks like someone has run over the traffic lights at Browning street

 

[cj1]

Still works though

They were digging it up yesterday and also a week or so ago.

Gotta stretch the distruption out as much as possible.

It's a bit sad when you have to use an expired disabled parking badge in a 5% full Hough retail park...

A34 stone road closed at the common southbound. The diversion is via alliance st. and Eccleshall road.

What would we do without good old Alliance Street - it’s our ‘Route 66’

I was surprised an A road would be diverted down that type of street tbh.

Overnight closures planned on the A34 Stone Road Stafford north of the Redhill roundabout this week for resurfacing have now been postponed until spring next year because of the wet weather.
We'll keep people informed of new dates closer to the time.

Just been talking to the youngest about this. There's approximately 700 people work at the Pets warehouse. 300 are on the night shift. Pets have sent an email out to all employees about the postponement. Out of those 300 employees, 175 have bothered to read their email.

Glam,
while 125 don't expect to be troubled by emails from their employer during their own time ?

I can’t speak for all but a lot of the PaH SDC colleagues don’t have laptops and the means to check emails out of work hours, unless they choose to do so. When they are actually in work they will see email and comms regarding the road closures.

That's very true, but from what TGUJLTFTBB reckoned, majority would have been in work last few nights, so would have had chance have a nose.

Spoke to one of the workers at Goal square, they are doing snagging this week and should be finished by Friday. But he didn't seem too confident.
