Part of A449 Stafford Road to close for weekend
Part of the A449 near Four Ashes is set to be closed for an entire weekend.
The work will see the northbound carriageway of the busy route shut off from 9pm Friday, September 22, to 5am Monday, September 25.
It includes creating a new signalled junction, two toucan crossings as well as improvements to pedestrian and cycle routes.
The work is part of automotive parts manufacturer Gestamp's relocation from its current site on Wolverhampton Road, Cannock, to a new 52-acre plot in Four Ashes which will provide 900,000 square feet of industrial floor space accommodating 1,000 jobs.
Staffordshire County Council’s economic growth leader Mark Winnington said: “Our essential work to create access to the Four Ashes site is progressing on schedule as we see the new Gestamp building really start to take shape.
"This will be yet another thriving hub for business and see more job creation in Staffordshire. Without these access improvements the site could not be developed.
"We are pleased to have supported Gestamp’s relocation and expansion within the county.
"These works have been coordinated with Highways England’s resurfacing of the A449 to minimise disruption and all works will be completed by late autumn. We’d like to thank people in advance for their patience through the works period.”
