What we are doing

What we are doing

We have made good progress with our work to carry out ground investigation surveys in and around the M6 junction 15 area. We have almost completed all our surveys and have gathered some vital ground investigation data.

While we have completed all our overnight work, we still need to continue with the Sunday work on Newcastle Road. We expected to complete this work on 3 October. Unfortunately, one of the planned Sunday closures of Newcastle Road coincided with Staffordshire Council’s full closure to repair potholes. To minimise disruption to the local community and reduce congestion, we decided to postpone the work we had planned for that date.

To complete the work, we will now need to work an additional Sunday and will close Newcastle Road on 10 October.

We recognise that roadworks can be frustrating and would like to thank you for your ongoing patience while we carry out this work. Please be assured that we will work hard to reduce the impact of this work on the local community.

How will this affect you?

During the work, we will be using machinery that may generate some noise. Although the traffic management will be set up directly outside houses, we will ensure that residents can enter and leave their properties during this time. We just ask for some patience so we can guide residents in and out safely.

We will reinstate the footpaths once we complete the work.
