Motorists travelling through Stone town centre could face further delays next week as another pedestrian crossing is scheduled for replacement.
Following the recent upgrade to the crossing on Stafford Street at Crown Street, work is now due to take place on Christchurch Way, near its junction with Radford Street.
Staffordshire County Council has scheduled the work to begin at 9.30am on Monday 16 November, with completion expected by 3pm on Friday 20 November.
A lane closure will be in place during the works, which could cause delays for traffic travelling around the town centre’s one-way system.
The project will see the existing pedestrian crossing equipment removed and replaced with newer traffic signal technology.
Swarco, the county council’s traffic signals maintenance contractor, will carry out the refurbishment. This will involve switching off the existing signals, managing the replacement work and commissioning the new equipment before it comes into use.
The work follows a similar replacement on Stafford Street earlier this month, when traffic queues developed around the Morrisons car park and surrounding roads.
The latest crossing improvements also follow the completion of Stone’s wider town centre resurfacing programme, which Staffordshire County Council announced at the end of October.
Drivers travelling through the town centre next week should allow extra time for their journeys while the lane closure is in place.
