Aldridge Road closed due roadworks

Aldrige Road in Little Aston to be Closed for Essential Maintenance Works

Aldrige Road in Little Aston will be closed for a period of 12 days, starting from 06:00 on 8 August 2026 and ending at 19:00 on 18 August 2026. The closure will be carried out by Staffordshire County Council, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of the road.

The closure will affect motorists travelling through the area and those using the road as a shortcut between the M6 and the M54 motorways. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes, such as the A513 and the A452, to avoid the closed section of the road. It is essential to check traffic apps and websites, such as Road Closures UK, for up-to-date information on road conditions and potential diversions before embarking on a journey.

The reason for the closure is standard maintenance work, which is classified as medium in severity. This type of work typically involves repairs and improvements to the road surface, drainage systems, and other infrastructure. The work is essential to ensure the safe and efficient movement of traffic on the road and to prevent potential hazards.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and to allow extra time for travel during the closure period. They should also consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public buses or trains, if possible. It is essential to follow the recommended diversion routes and to be aware of any changes to traffic signals and speed limits.

Staffordshire County Council has apologised for any inconvenience the closure may cause and has assured motorists that the work will be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible. The council has also encouraged motorists to report any issues or concerns related to the closure to their customer service team.

The website provides up-to-date information on road closures, traffic incidents, and roadworks across the UK. Motorists can also use the website to plan their journeys and to receive alerts and updates on road conditions.
