The road is one of 37 on Shropshire Council’s 2021/22 resurfacing programme.

A spokesman from the council said: "The closure will allow coring work to be carried out to determine if there is tar present within the road.

"This will enable the appropriate plans to be drawn up for the resurfacing work, and may enable savings to be made."
