Busy Shrewsbury town centre road to close for works
One of Shrewsbury's busiest roads will be closed to traffic while resurfacing works are carried out as part of a multi-million pound transport programme.
Resurfacing is set to be carried out as part of improvement works between Town Walls and Claremont Bank in Shrewsbury.
This work will take place between April 22 and May 5, and will require the roads to be fully closed to traffic so that work can be carried out safely.
As with previous closures, the road will be closed from Beeches Lane (Town Walls) at its junction with Williams Way, with diversions routes in place. Traffic management operatives will be stationed at each closure point to allow access for residents and businesses only.
There will be some short-term closures for the coming week to allow new street lighting and kerbing to be installed within narrow areas on Claremont Bank. These closures are only expected to last during daytime working hours.
Once the resurfacing work is complete, the final paving will be completed on the new footpaths, with work anticipated to be fully complete by mid-May.
The work is being carried out as part of the Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package.
Improvements to Town Walls and Claremont Bank include the upgrading of footway materials to improve the aesthetic appearance of the area; improvements to footway crossing facilities along the whole route, improved road layout and parking, and the carriageway resurfacing.
