The latest improvements will see more long lasting surfaces and new road markings as part of the council’s commitment to better roads.
This is underlined by the council’s £10 million highways investment in 2026/27 and £10 million every year for the next 5 years – a £50 million total investment – focused on preventative work to reduce potholes.
Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, Cabinet Member for City Transport at City of Wolverhampton Council, said: “Safe, well maintained roads are essential to our residents, businesses and visitors, which is why we continue to heavily invest in our highways network.
“We know people want to see full resurfacing happening and that is exactly what we are delivering more of, building on the work already carried out across the city.
“Like authorities up and down the country, we cannot resurface and fix everything in one go. The Asphalt Industry Alliance recently estimated a one time catch up on road repairs would cost approximately £145.9 million per authority in England, excluding London.
“But by complementing our resurfacing programme with other preventative treatments such as surface dressing, we can reduce the number of urgent pothole repairs needed in the long term.”
Roads to be fully resurfaced and relined during June and July, weather permitting, include:
- Great Hampton Street
- Butts Road
- Penn Street
- Connaught Road
- Cross Street
- Moore Street
- Price Street
- Mander Street
- Springvale Avenue
- Wobaston Road roundabout and The Droveway
- Ring Road St George’s – Bilston Road Island to Snow Hill island
- Chapel Ash island
- Lansdowne Road
Further resurfacing projects will follow later this summer, including Stafford Road island at Three Tuns Lane, with resurfacing taking place at night where possible.
Dozens of other roads will benefit from surface dressing treatment. This is quick to do and prevent potholes forming.
First phase preparatory repairs have been carried out on those roads, with crews returning later in the summer to complete surface treatment and relining.
