Drone footage shows Stafford Western Access Route progress
New aerial footage shows how a multi-million-pound road project is progressing in Stafford.
The Stafford Western Access Route project began last summer.
The project is part of a major project to develop housing and business properties in the area.
It is hoped the road will also improve traffic flow in the town centre, particularly by the railway station, the county council said. Construction work has continued throughout the pandemic.
The road is being funded by developers and with £15.5 million secured by the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Enterprise Partnership through the Government’s Local Growth Fund.
Both the county and borough councils also contributed to the scheme.
The road will link the A34 Foregate Street at Madford Retail Park to the A518 Newport Road Castlefields junction.
It is hoped it will help improve traffic flow in Gaol Square, Newport Road (east of Kingsway), Station Road, Chell Road, A34 Foregate Street (south of the scheme) and Doxey Road.
