A HALESOWEN road is set to close for a week while it is resurfaced.

Merrivale Road will close from Friday February 5 to Friday February 12.

It will be closed between Summerfield Avenue and Roundhill Road, from 8.00am until 4.00pm each day.

Dudley Council said the diversion is via Summerfield Avenue, Hurst Green Road, Roundhill Road, and vice versa.

A spokesman said: "The purpose of the closures is to safely facilitate carriageway resurfacing works."

Access to frontages will be maintained where safe.
