Shropshire Council said that Rushton Cottage Bridge – which carries an unclassified road over a tributary of the River Severn – will be closed from July 11 for two days.
The bridge is near Upper Longwood, Eaton Constantine.
A statement from the council said: "The work involves repairing the timber parapets and vegetation clearance
"To carry out the proposed work safely it will be necessary to close both bridges to vehicular traffic 24 hours a day.
"When the road is closed, traffic will be diverted by a signed diversion route.
"Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the works, and access to frontages will be maintained up to the bridge closures."
