Cobridge Lights Review After Crashes City Council Considers Changes

Hey, guess what’s happening in Stoke-on-Trent? A busy junction had two crashes in two days. Police closed parts of Cobridge lights after these crashes. The city council is now looking at the junction.

Highways experts are thinking about ways to improve it. This busy spot has been a problem before. Back in 2018, there were big plans for Cobridge Road. They wanted a dual carriageway to help traffic flow.

The Department for Transport gave £2.09 million. The whole project cost £5.7 million. In 2020, they needed to buy some land. They hoped to start the work that year. But so far, only red lines have appeared on the road.

The Cobridge lights are always busy. Traffic jams happen in every direction. During rush hour, lines stretch back to Sneyd Green. The recent crashes put it back in focus. The council confirmed they are checking the junction.

They fixed Lime Kiln lights to help with traffic. But crashes still happen there. People report problems turning in certain directions. The council is looking at options for Cobridge lights. They want things to improve.
