What we are doing
South Staffs Water will be carrying out the trial hole works on existing water mains to inform its upcoming diversionary works.
All works will be undertaken within the carriageway, near to the junction of A5127 Burton Road and Thompson Way close to the A38 Northbound slip road.
In order to carry out the work safely, the existing traffic lights will be temporarily replaced with four way lights for the duration of the works.
The work is planned to start on 9 December 2023 and is expected to last until 17 December 2023. All the works will be undertaken between the hours of 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday and 8.00am and 1.00pm Saturday. Further trial holes are also planned within the adjacent HS2 site.
Once the trial holes are completed, we will be able to update you with the water main diversion proposals and programme. The main works are due to commence mid-January 2024.
The majority of vehicles being used for these works will be transit van size work vehicles, with some machinery being delivered to site using Large Goods Vehicles.
We do not anticipate the level of these traffic movements will have any significant impact on the local road network. The below plan shows the extent and position of the road closure and diversion route.
We have designed our works to avoid disruption to the water supplies of our customers.
