What we are doing

THESE WORKS WERE COMPLETED SLIGHTLY EARLY, AND THEREFORE NO TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT WILL BE IN PLACE BETWEEN 12/07 AND 14/07.

South Staffs Water will be diverting an existing water main along the A453, Sutton Road.
Most of the works will be within land next to Sutton Road, near the junction with Drayton Lane. The scheme will however include some works within Sutton Road and Drayton Lane.

To complete the works safely, temporary three-way traffic lights will be usedto manage traffic along both Sutton Road and Drayton Lane. The traffic lights will be in place on the dates stated below.

The temporary traffic lights will cause some local delays to traffic along both the A453 and Drayton Lane. Traffic lights will be manually controlled during the day to ensure delays are kept to a minimum.

The temporary traffic lights will be installed over two three-week periods, as follows: –

24 May to 13 June 2023
A lane closure and three-way traffic lights northeast of Drayton Lane (lane closure one).

27 June to 14 July 2023

A lane closure and three-way traffic lights at the Sutton Road / Drayton Lane
junction (lane closure two).
