It's also a good idea to check traffic apps, such as Google Maps or Waze, for up-to-date information on the roadworks and any other potential delays.

Those who use public transport may also be affected by the road closure, with buses and other services potentially being diverted or delayed. Pedestrians and cyclists are also advised to plan their journeys carefully, as Granville Street will be closed to all traffic during the roadworks. Drivers who must travel through the area should be patient and allow extra time for their journeys, as the road closure is expected to cause congestion.

The City of Wolverhampton Council has scheduled the roadworks to take place during a time when traffic volumes are generally lower, in an effort to minimize the disruption to the community. However, drivers are still advised to plan ahead and avoid the area if possible.
