Station Road
Work to enhance the area around Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station has been ongoing since August 2023.
The transformational scheme has included the complete redevelopment of Station Road and Winton Square which now boast:
- An attractive public realm with new street furniture to enhance the stunning Grade II* Listed buildings
- Priority access for buses via a bus gate at Winton Square to help reduce traffic flow
- Improved parking facilities including dedicated areas for drop-off and pick up
- Wider pavements and pedestrian crossings
- New bus stops and shelters showing real-time passenger information
To mark the completion of the milestone scheme will be marked with a special event at Station Road on Monday 11 August.
Prior to the opening, Station Road will be closed in both directions, all day and all night, from Saturday 19 July at 6am until Sunday 10 August at 10pm.
The full road closure will enable block paving to be laid along the new-look carriageway, the completion of the bus gate at Winton Square and the re-location of the Josiah Wedgwood statue to a more prominent location outside the railway station.
Vehicles will not be able to access or drive over the carriageway for the full duration of the closure. Residents will still be able to use car park 3, at the rear of the station, for drop off and pick up, the taxi rank will remain accessible, businesses will remain open and the Keele and Newcastle bus stop will be temporarily relocated to Stoke Road.
