The bridge over the River Severn in Bridgnorth is having a new gas main installed in repair work that was set to finish last week.

Utilities company Cadent began digging up the road on April 11 following the closure of St John's Street a week earlier when a gas leak was discovered.

Cadent Gas and contractors Trinity have been undertaking the renewal of the gas main and associated services along Bridge Street, between the junctions of St John’s Street and Mill Street to the junction of Cartway.
