Wolverhampton road closed from Aug 15

A section of the UK's strategic road network is set to be closed overnight due to essential maintenance work. The National Highways A5(M) will be shut between junctions 1 and 2 near Wolverhampton from 8pm on August 15th to 4am on August 16th.

The closure, which has been confirmed by National Highways, will affect motorists travelling on the A5(M), with traffic being diverted via the M54 and M6. Drivers are advised to check traffic apps and plan their journeys in advance to avoid any delays. Alternative routes are in place to ensure that traffic can continue to flow smoothly while the work is carried out.

The maintenance work is part of National Highways' ongoing efforts to maintain the condition and safety of the country's road network. By closing the A5(M) overnight, the authority aims to minimise disruptions to drivers during the day while still carrying out essential repairs.

Motorists who are planning to use the A5(M) during the closure are urged to check for up-to-date traffic information before setting out. This can be done by using traffic apps or by visiting the National Highways website. The authority also advises drivers to follow any signs or directions provided by traffic marshals or other officials.

National Highways' Transport Data Feeds provide real-time information about road conditions and traffic incidents across the country. This data is used to inform drivers about any disruptions to the road network, allowing them to plan their journeys accordingly.

While the A5(M) closure is in place, drivers are advised to exercise caution and patience when navigating the affected area. By taking a few simple precautions, such as checking traffic information and allowing extra time for their journeys, drivers can help to reduce the risk of accidents and congestion.

If you are planning to travel on the A5(M) during the closure, you can find up-to-date information about road conditions and traffic incidents on the National Highways website or through Road Closures UK.
