Derbyram1 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Anyone seen this on the DCFC website, A50 near Uttoxeter closed the weekend of the Bolton match and obviously the main route. Just a heads up and if anyone can offer advise for different directions etc i am sure it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A52 towards Ashbourne will take you in the Stoke direction, then join the A500 to the M6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 You could pick up the A522 at Uttox and rejoin the A50 at Blythe Bridge, should take about 10mins longer than the usual route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s open, follow signs for Tean and Cheadle from Utch. If it’s any different I’ll let you know closer to the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Just don't go. The Highways Agency are trying to tell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 A50 is closed between Uttoxeter (Little Chef Roundabout) and Stoke. Diversion in place via the A51 I believe, so it is likely to busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up and if anyone can offer advise for different directions etc i am sure it would be appreciated. This is the official diversion info from Staffs County Council and the Highways Agency, The diversion route will be the same for vehicles travelling in both directions. From the East, traffic will be diverted northwards from the A50 at Uttoxeter on to the B5030 for a few hundred yards to the roundabout with the A518. Traffic will turn right there, cross back over the A50 along The Dove Way and continue on the A518 clockwise around Uttoxeter and follow the road towards Stafford. Vehicles will then follow the A51 and A34 towards Stoke-on-Trent, before joining the A500 and then the A50 to Blythe Bridge. The route is reversed from the West. Ignore that, its bloody miles round the Wrekin! Follow the first bit onto the B5030 but then turn first left signed Spath, Stramshall. Follow the road up through the village of Stramshall admiring the medieval church on the right and back down to the A522 with extensive views of two JCB factories opposite, turn right for Tean, Cheadle. In Tean follow Blythe Bridge signs and this will bring you to the A50 a mile or so before Meir Tunnel and through the picturesque concrete canyons of the Potteries, No more than 10-15 minutes longer than the normal route.

WystonRam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Would imagine the Forest contingent going to Blackburn will be traveling the same route as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike93rh Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Always baffled by people that don't put their destination into google maps on the day of travel - provides you with the best live traffic information available and even has live road closures etc. in.
