A stretch of Hagley Road in Stourbridge will temporarily be made one way later this month to allow resurfacing work to take place.

Work is set to take place on the stretch between Glasshouse Hill and Worcester Lane. on 12 and 13 July and between 16 to 19 July from 9.30am to 3pm each day.

In order to carry out this essential work, this section of Hagley Road will become one-way southbound, away from Stourbridge town centre. Two way flow will be reinstated when work is finished each day. Councillor Karen Shakespeare, cabinet member for environmental services, said:

“This is an essential piece of work on a well-used road, which is why we’re looking  to put this one-way system in place when traffic flow is lighter, between 9.30am and 3pm each day.

“We hope to minimise disruption to motorists, and ask road users to bear with us during the work.”

Letters will be going out to affected residents and businesses, and signage will also be going up to advise motorists.  Homes and businesses will be accessible during the works, except when work is being undertaken on the immediate entrances to businesses.

The diversion route for northbound traffic will be Ham Lane, Grange Lane, Pedmore Road, Dudley Road, Thorns Road, Mount Pleasant, Delph Road, Brettell Lane, Collis Street, High Street Amblecote and St Johns Road. Access to frontages will be maintained where safe to do so.
