The resurfaced roundabout in Burntwood
The resurfaced roundabout in Burntwood

A £350,000 project to resurface a roundabout in Burntwood has been completed.

Works to the junction on Burntwood Way near the M6 Toll exit took just over a fortnight.

The project included resurfacing, reinstating road markings, resettling kerbs and gulley cleaning.

The closure for the work also saw patching done on other parts o Burntwood Way.

Cllr David Williams, cabinet member for highways at Staffordshire County Council, said:

“Following on from last year’s successful resurfacing of the Ogley Hay roundabout just a few metres away, work has now been completed on Burntwood Way.

“We had to plan the work in very carefully, given that the roundabout is just off a junction of the M6 Toll and not far from the A5 which sees a significant volume of traffic.

“This is why the teams took advantage of night-time closures of the M6 Toll, so they could get the work done with minimal disruption to road users.

“Motorists coming through the area will see a significant difference, and experience a much smoother journey as they travel in and out of the county.

“This investment is just one part of a whole programme of resurfacing and repairing Staffordshire’s roads that will be continuing throughout the year.”

Too late to save my suspension coils and bracket that I’ve had to replace after going over this island every day for the past 3 years.
