Walkmill Bridge to shut for fortnight
Saturday 7th May 2011, 11:29AM BST.
A north Shropshire bridge severely damaged when it was struck by a lorry is to close to traffic for up to a fortnight for vital repairs.
Walkmill Bridge, a listed building in Market Drayton, will be closed from Monday.
Shropshire Council said the repairs were necessary as a result of “severe accident damage” caused to the bridge in November when a lorry demolished most of its eastern parapet.
