Walsall roadworks and closures begin
A series of roadworks including two road closures were set to start in Walsall today.
The Hayes in Short Heath will be completely shut at its junction with Lucknow Road for the next three weeks as Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions carry out gas main renewal work on behalf of National Grid Gas.
On top of the Hayes, the A4124 Pelsall Road between the junctions of Apex road and A452 High Street in Brownhills will be closed overnight until February as it is resurfaced. The road will be open during the day but shuts at 8pm and doesn't reopen until 6am.
Delays will also occur on the A452 Chester Road in Alridge Central and South as Carillion Telent on Behalf of British Telecom carry out Telecoms connection work between 9.30am and 4pm near to the junction of Green Lane.
A temporary traffic signal will be in place and work is expected to last until Thursday.
