National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.

Local roadworks have also started in Abbey Foregate, one of the main routes into and out of Shrewsbury, where the road has been closed with access allowed for businesses, pedestrians, cyclists and residents.
