Redevelopment of 71-78 Victoria St, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, UK, WV1 3PQ
Eight months of diversions in Wolverhampton city centre as pedestrian area expands One of Wolverhampton city centre's best-known roads has permanently closed to cars and other nearby roads have temporarily shut as work to transform the area continues. Cars have driven down Victoria Street for the final time as the road becomes forever traffic-free under a £ million council project. The road, which runs from the Beatties building past the Mander Centre down to Cleveland Street, was pedestrianised to help social distancing when coronavirus arrived in spring 2020 but is now being permanently changed. Drivers are also facing eight months of diversions, with roads at either end of Victoria Street closed while the bulk of the work takes place this year. North Street and Mitre Fold, next to the Civic Halls, will not reopen until the end of September while Salop Street is closed from School Street to Victoria Street until the end of July The first phase of the project will see a new pedestrianised square created where Victoria Street meets Bell Street and Skinner Street just down from the city's major shopping centres.
