Factor these major road closures into your journeys if you're driving in or near Shropshire this week

Over the next week, Shropshire's motorists will have nine road closures to avoid on the National Highways network, meaning motorways and A-roads as opposed to smaller, local routes.

Two of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one of the closures already in place is expected to carry on this week, while the rest are due to start soon.
