As part of Shropshire Council's surface dressing programme, the B5065 near Wem will soon face a series of closures.
The surface dressing work, which involves applying and rolling aggregate ‘chippings’ onto a bitumen binder to seal the surface, will also involve re-lining the road.
The road, between Wem and Prees Green, will be closed between Tuesday, May 13 and Friday, May 16 for surface dressing, and on Saturday, May 31 for re-lining.
The site forms part of a countywide programme of schemes, which Shropshire Council said is scheduled to deliver the work in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
While the work is underway, an 8-mile diversion will be in place, directing drivers towards the A49 via Lee Brockhurst.
Questions relating to the schemes should be sent to Shropshire Highways via email: Highwaysconsultation@shropshire.gov.uk.
