Crews will be busy in Cannock Road from Thursday 24 July with work taking place at night, between 7pm and 5am, to minimise traffic disruption.
The first section will be resurfaced from the Stafford Street junction to Nine Elms, along with fresh road markings. It is expected to be finished by Friday 8 August, weather permitting.
The Park Lane junction of Cannock Road will be resurfaced and relined between 7pm and 5am, from Monday 11 August to Friday 15 August.
It follows improvements made to roads across the city in recent weeks with more to come. The council has also made a commitment to repair more than 7,500 potholes this year.
Councillor Qaiser Azeem, City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, said: “We know Cannock Road needs resurfacing and that work will be taking place soon giving this main route into the city a much needed facelift.
“Fixing roads and tackling potholes is a priority for the council and we have a programme of work being put into action.
“Like councils up and down the country, we can’t do everything all at once.
“The Local Government Association estimated the backlog of road repairs stands at about £17 billion and could take more than a decade to fix.
“In Wolverhampton we are following a data led, informed strategy to identify where improvements can have the greatest impact, reducing the need for urgent repairs on our roads in the long run.”
The council is responsible for maintaining 480 miles of roads and nearly 800 miles of footpaths.
Highways maintenance is funded through the council’s £9.7 million capital programme for 2025 to 2026.
Earlier this year the council also welcomed an extra £2 million from the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) to help fix even more potholes.
