Dudley drivers face delays in double roadworks starting over coming days

Dudley Council has announced the temporary closure of Kirkstone Way, Brierley Hill, from Vicarage Road, to facilitate carriageway reconstruction works.

Diversions for all vehicle traffic will be in place via Kirkstone Way, Sandringham Way, Hillfields Road and vice versa.

Access to frontages and emergency vehicles will be maintained, where it is safe to do so.

The order will come into force on Sunday, June 23, with works anticipated to last until Sunday, June 30.

The work will take place on Sunday only.

However, the order may remain in force for a period of up to 18 months, or until the works are completed, whichever is earlier.

The order will come into force on Monday, June 24, with the works anticipated to be completed on Saturday, November 2.

Council bosses have outline diversions which will be in place throughout the work. These are:

• All northbound vehicle travel shall travel via Trindale Road, Castle Hill, Castle Gate Island, Caste Hill, Trindale Road, and Porters Field.
