Next Wednesday, August the 10th, between 8pm and 6am the following morning; the A34 will be closed in both directions between Yarlet Lane and the Redhill roundabout. A signed diversion route will be in place via A51, A518, A513 & vice versa.

Work to build the new Pets at Home development off the A34 Stone Road at Redhill includes a new roundabout to provide access. The closure is to allow work that includes electrical modifications and road resurfacing.

Access to Redhill Business Park will be maintained from the Redhill roundabout NORTHBOUND ONLY, with vehicles exiting it needing to go southbound. Access to all other properties will be along the southbound carriageway from the A51 junction.

Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport David Williams said:

“This is a major road project but vital in providing adequate access to the development and maintaining good traffic flow to traffic on the A34.

“Next week’s closure has been scheduled overnight and at a quieter period on the network, and a range of works coordinated during the closure to minimise disruption.

“We’d like to remind people travelling on this route during the closure to allow additional time and would like to thank people for their patience.”

All highway works are due to be completed in summer 2023, however, as reported previously the site will open with half a roundabout initially in order to align with when the building will be handed over and become operational.
