Notice of road closure on the A525 between Station Road and Vicarage Lane, Madeley

What we are doing

On 4 October 2023, the Prime Minister announced that the Government proposes to deliver a broad range of transport initiatives in place of investing in Phase Two of HS2. This means that HS2 Ltd is not undertaking any ‘new’ work to progress plans for Phase 2a of the project and is working with Government to agree the next steps on this phase of the project.

The activity described below is needed either to finish work on an existing site, for the ongoing maintenance of a site, or for health, safety and security reasons:

As part of our environmental works, we have completed arboriculture and ecological surveys that have identified an unsafe tree on the verge of the A525 within Madeley. The surveys have identified rot at the base of the tree, and it must be removed for safety reasons.

Balfour Beatty will be using a trailer to remove the felled tree. There will be vehicles and equipment parked within the road carriage to facilitate the works.

We will need to install a road closure on the A525 to safely remove the tree and manage the safe movement of the vehicles and people needed to carry out the works.

There will be no through traffic for the duration of the works. Pedestrian access will be maintained and managed throughout.

The vehicle diversion route in place will be via the A51 and A53, passing through Baldwin’s Gate. There will be traffic management signage along the full length of the diversion route.
