While the road is closed, a 13.43-mile diversion will be in place, directing traffic along the A41 to the A53 at Tern Hill and rejoining the A529 in Market Drayton.

The A529 around Market Drayton has been subject of several bouts of work in recent years in a bid to improve the route - including resurfacing, new street lighting and pedestrian improvements.

The programme is being supported by the Government-funded Safer Roads Fund scheme aiming to improve safety between Hinstock and Audlem.
