Youngest (Jesus looking thing) reckons 2 weeks and the main bit of the Pets at Home roundabout will be done. Then 2 more weeks for faffing and it should be finished. That's what he's been told at work.
Maybe they were told how long in dog weeks.
I feel that 'i told you so' has been overused therefore I'll just say
I informed you thusly. 🤓

Final phase of the first phase, next comes the 12-18 months while they do Redhill roundabout and the beaconside dualling

It's utterly pointless resurfacing a road if it's going to be dug up 6 months later to do some work on gas, elec or telecomms. They fill in the road to a very poor standard and then you're back to square one.

A34 at Wildwood, Weeping Cross and Radford Bank are always getting dug up, must be the most dug up roads in Stafford.

anyone know how long the a34 stone roads is going to be closed for the resurfacing?
Sure the signage said works would last 6 months which takes us to the end of August.

For what it’s worth, it’s only closed in one direction which is currently the into town direction. It swapped earlier in the week but looks like there’s still a lot to do - there’s a good 6 inches of tarmac missing from the side they’ve started resurfacing.

Shocking queueing along the A34 towards Stafford recently- literally queueing from the top of Yarlet bank all the way to the Redhill roundabout. I suppose the dual carriageway reduced to one lane around Pets at Home roundabout, the A34 into Stafford closed & drivers blocking entry into the Redhill roundabout doesn't help. Almost gave up. When do the Redhill roundabout roadworks start - converting it into 3 lanes and installing traffic lights? I guess that'll be an 18 month rather than a 6 week job?

Stafford seems to have entered roadwork season. If you travel from around Wildwood area to Parkside like I did the other day then depending on route you'll either get stuck in 4 sets of roadworks or just 2 if you avoid Black heath lane and Weeping Cross. Utterly ridiculous.

I wouldn't mind if it was in our benefit, ie. road improvements.

3 way lights at the junction of West Way and Highfield Grove, not sure how long they are there for but that will cause irritation.
