The work will take place on Woodhouse Lane near Albrighton from Monday to Friday, October 5 to 9.

Work will be carried out from 8am to 5pm each day, during which time a full road closure will be in place.

During the closures access to the work areas will be maintained for residents living and businesses within the closure when safe, along with emergency vehicles on blue light calls.

For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place.

People are asked to ensure vehicles are not parked on the road whilst the work is in progress.

Shropshire Council said the work involves resurfacing the road with a new asphalt layer, applied by a paving machine and compacted to create a smooth, durable surface.
