The latest part of a proposed congestion-cutting scheme on one of Wolverhampton’s busiest routes has been backed by councillors.

City of Wolverhampton Council is planning to overhaul the “severely congested” Willenhall Road and Neachells Lane junction with new and widened roads and new paths and cycle routes.

The local authority’s planning committee approved the “crucial” project at a meeting on Tuesday (November 11) but admitted the project would inevitably lead to disruption in the area.

Planning chair Cllr Paul Sweet said the council was carrying out “bold” rather than the ‘easy or piecemeal’ work.

“It will have some disruption, inevitably, but taking it into consideration with the other two phases further up Willenhall Road, it is to be welcomed I think,” he said.
