Blackhorse Road / Ironbridge Way - Exhall
Work to improve Ironbridge Way and its junction with Blackhorse Road in Exhall is due to commence on Monday 2 August.
Fitzgerald Contractors Ltd have been appointed to carry out the £320,000 scheme which is expected to take around three months to complete. The works are to be funded by the developer Barratt Homes.
The work will involve the construction of a new priority junction at the Western junction of Ironbridge Way and Blackhorse Road. On Ironbridge Way there will also be remedial roadworks carried out, installation of pedestrian crossings (a Zebra and Puffin) and traffic calming measures (raised speed tables).
The works are to be done using a series of temporary road closures. Access to properties and businesses will however be maintained at all times and diversion routes will be clearly signed.
Cllr Julie Jackson said: “These road improvements are long awaited by local residents and I am delighted that the works are finally going ahead.”
