A scheme bringing major improvements to a key Staffordshire gateway junction is set for completion in April.
The improvements, carried out by Staffordshire County Council, will ease congestion and increase capacity at the A38 junction. It includes creating additional lanes around the junction, on the slip roads and on Branston Road and Parkway. New traffic signals will also be installed.
In March and April, there will be a series of overnight closures to resurface the roundabout at Branston Road and a section of Parkway.
They’ll be carried out between 3 March to 4 April overnight, Monday to Friday only. Traffic diversions during these times will be via Barton Turns junction and Claymills junction and then the A5121 Derby Road for A38 traffic. Again, traffic diversions are via Rangemore and Needwood for local traffic including Tatenhill to access and egress Burton town centre.
The closures will take place between 8pm and 6am. By the end of April all traffic management will be removed and the new signals operational.

The following update is taken from the Staffordshire County Council website
10 January Update
Work on a solution that will allow Branston Bridge to reopen to normal traffic is progressing well, with engineers aiming to start work on-site later this month.
Subject to final designs gaining the necessary permissions from Network Rail, works could start in a matter of weeks and are anticipated to last around three months.
In the meantime, workers will be on site from next week (w/c 13 January) to prepare the bridge for the forthcoming works, which will mean moving concrete blocks, marking out utilities, digging trial holes and reconfiguring the traffic management to turn it into a safe working area.
A public exhibition of the works is currently being scheduled, where local residents will have the opportunity to view plans and speak to engineers about the works.
More information about the works and the public exhibition will be detailed in due course.
A bridge in Burton that has been closed for repairs is planned to open to limited traffic today (18 December).
The Victorian Branston Bridge was closed in November for safety reasons, and repairs to a damaged parapet have taken place throughout early December.
The bridge was previously under weight and width restrictions due to structural issues. Now, following further inspections and localised repairs to the bridge and the brick parapet, it is planned that the bridge will be reopened today, in time for the Christmas Break.
To ensure the structural integrity of the bridge, new, stricter width restrictions will need to be put in place. Now, only vehicles of 2.1 metres or less will be able to cross.
An extended network of updated signage will be in place to remind people well in advance of the weight and width restrictions, and drivers are being advised to ensure they know the width of their vehicle before using the route.
CCTV has also been installed on the structure, and footage of any oversized vehicle attempting to cross the bridge will be passed to enforcing authorities.
To help vehicles comply and remind people of the enhanced width restrictions in place, highways officers will be on the bridge for a few days after it opens to help motorists and to assist with traffic.
Following the Christmas break, it is anticipated that the bridge will close once more in mid-January, when more extensive repairs to the structure will take place to allow wider and heavier vehicles to cross it.
These repairs are still being worked on by engineers, and are dependent on gaining the necessary permissions from Network Rail and other key organisations such as utilities that cross the bridge. Local residents will be updated on the solution and timings in due course.
Branston Bridge closure
Branston Bridge is closed to all vehicles under an emergency order, following repeated violations of weight limits by HGV drivers. Engineers are working on repair and reinforcement options to eventually reopen it.
In the meantime the bridge remains closed for safety. Please follow signed diversion routes.

On the A38 Derby to Birmingham Facebook page 2 days ago the admin put up some information about upcoming overnight closures 20:00 – 05:00 on 13th , 14th & 15th November while they remove temporary safety barriers on the northbound slips and resurface.
The important thing to note is that between these times there will be no access from the gyratory into Branston Road and Tatenhill.
The access into Branston from Northbound carriageway will require a detour via Clay Mills
The following link will take you to the Facebook page.
Branston Bridge has reopened after a brief closure over the October school half-term holiday.
The 185-year-old bridge, which currently has weight and width restrictions due to structural issues, was closed from October 28 to November 1 for investigatory work.
Staffordshire County Council is exploring options to reinforce the bridge, including a temporary metal structure or a concrete strengthening slab, based on the investigation’s findings.
Concrete barriers are in place to prevent overweight and wide vehicles, that have ignored the advance signs, from overloading the bridge. Mobile CCTV vehicles have and will still be used to enforce the restrictions and fixed CCTV cameras are being considered too.
The goal is to keep the bridge open for pedestrians and light vehicles but, if restrictions are ignored and the structure worsens, a full closure may be necessary.
