Road Closure: OXLEY MOOR ROAD — Birmingham

Motorists in the West Midlands are being advised of a planned overnight closure of Oxley Moor Road in Wolverhampton, which will take place from 22:00 on 6 December 2026 to 05:00 on 7 December 2026. The closure, which is being implemented by the City of Wolverhampton Council, is due to major planned maintenance and will affect the entire length of Oxley Moor Road. Drivers who normally use this route to travel to and from Birmingham should plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys, as the closure is likely to cause significant disruption.

The City of Wolverhampton Council has confirmed that the closure is necessary to carry out essential works, and drivers are being advised to use alternative routes to avoid the area. The council recommends that motorists check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out, as the closure may cause congestion on surrounding roads. Drivers who are unfamiliar with the area may want to consider using a sat nav or mapping app to find the best alternative route, and to receive real-time updates on traffic conditions.

The closure of Oxley Moor Road is likely to have a medium severity impact on traffic in the area, and drivers should be prepared for potential delays. The City of Wolverhampton Council is working to minimise disruption and ensure that the works are completed as quickly as possible, but drivers should still allow extra time for their journeys. The council is also advising drivers to follow the signed diversion route, which will be in place to guide traffic around the closure.

The City of Wolverhampton Council is responsible for maintaining the roads in the area, and the planned maintenance works are part of its ongoing programme to improve the condition of the road network.
