The Crew Green Bridge, near Crewgreen and Melverley west of Shrewsbury, carries an unclassified road over the river and over the English/Welsh border. The bridge will be closed on June 26.

Inspection will require the use of a specialist underbridge unit, and vehicles will be unable to use the bridge between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Traffic will be diverted by a signed route while access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain throughout the work.

WSP will undertake the inspection on behalf of Shropshire Council
