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 £10m every year for the next five years – a £50m 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 £145.9m 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 re-lined during June and July, weather permitting, include:
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 re-lining.
