An announcement said: "Shelton Road in Shrewsbury is to be resurfaced from Monday, March 24 to Wednesday, March 26.

"The emergency works are being carried out due to the rapid deterioration of the carriageway structure following the harsh winter weather.

"To minimise disruption the work will be carried out from 6pm to 11pm each night, and the road will be closed during these times.

"Where possible the noisiest work will be carried out at the beginning of each shift.

"During the closures a signed diversion will be place - and access/egress for properties within the closure will be maintained when safe to do so. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.
