Maintenance work on the A38 starts in June

The Highways Agency is to undertake maintenance works on the A38 northbound between Alrewas and Wychnor starting in June.

The work will start on 25 June and will be completed within a week. All activity will take place overnight between 7pm and 6am.

During the works, the A38 will be closed northbound overnight from the A513 over bridge to the bridge at Dogshead Lane. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted and will take traffic off the A38 northbound at Alrewas onto the A513 to Kings Bromley turning right onto the A515 to Yoxall before turning right onto the B5016 back to the A38 north.

Jessica Kenny, Highways Agency Project Manager said: "We will do our utmost to complete the works as quickly as possible, keeping noise to a minimum."

Further information is available from the Highways Agency Information Line on 0300 123 5000.
