Roadworks have been planned in the Bridgnorth area

Shropshire Council said "significant improvements" will be carried out between July and November on the A458 Bridgnorth bypass.

The roundabout approaches between the A458/B4373 Wenlock Road junction and the Stourbridge Road roundabout will also be included in the works.

Steve Brown, Shropshire Council’s highways, transport and environmental maintenance manager, said it was the first significant work carried out on the road since its creation.

He said: “The Bridgnorth bypass scheme will see some important work carried out on one of the county’s most important roads, and road users will see big improvements once the work is complete.
