More roadworks planned for main road in Shrewsbury
Drivers will face more delays on a main road in Shrewsbury while a road is dug up.
Electric and gas work is planned for three weeks on Welshpool Road in the town, which has already had temporary traffic lights in place this year due to the new houses being built in the area.
Aptus Utilities will be installing a new high-voltage electric main and gas main on the road from September 13 to October 22.
The work is required for the Barratt Homes development and will be carried out from the site entrance on Welshpool Road up to the junction with Gains Park Way.
Temporary traffic lights will be in place, with a staff member monitoring the congestion from 7.30am to 7.30pm.
Once the Welshpool Road work is done, Gains Park Way will then be dug up to the junction with Gains Avenue so the main can be connected.
Shropshire Council said its street works inspector will closely monitor the work to ensure contractors are working safely and to the agreed timescales.
Residents and affected businesses will be notified.
