Wolverhampton City Council has announced a new phase of road resurfacing work affecting four major routes across the city as part of its £10 million Highway Capital Programme 2026 to 2027.
Nelson Avenue will be resurfaced over 2 days from Monday 9 November. Stowheath Lane will be resurfaced over 6 nights from Wednesday 11 November. Castlecroft Road will be resurfaced over 2 days from Monday 16 November. Dunstall Lane will be resurfaced over 2 nights from Thursday 3 December. Re-lining work will follow at all sites.
Where possible, the resurfacing work will take place at night to minimise disruption to traffic.
Surface treatment work
Six additional roads will receive surface treatment work rather than full resurfacing. Wilkinson Avenue, Rose Street and Brierley Lane will each have one day of surface treatment between Sunday 2 November and Friday 6 November.
Pond Lane, Chequerfield Drive and Chester Avenue will each have one day of surface treatment between Thursday 5 November and Tuesday 10 November, with re-lining to follow at all sites.
What residents need to know
All work is subject to weather conditions. Residents will be kept updated via Wolverhampton City Council social media channels and the Causeway One Network website, where traffic restrictions and diversions can be viewed to help people plan their journeys.
Earlier improvements
The council has already completed resurfacing work at several major routes during spring and summer, including Chapel Ash island, Ring Road St George's and the Stafford Road/Three Tuns Lane island.
Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, Cabinet Member for City Transport, said: "The work already carried out across the city is improving journeys for thousands of people on a daily basis but we know the hard work doesn't stop there. We will keep rolling out resurfacing and other treatments proven to help prevent potholes as we know just how important a safe and efficient highways network is to our residents and businesses."
Over the past 5 years, Wolverhampton Council has invested £35 million in highways work, with more than 560 square kilometres of carriageway resurfaced or treated. The council has also fixed more than 7,000 potholes so far this year.
