Shrewsbury road to be closed overnight to rectify 'defects'
Council enforcement inspectors have identified multiple defects in a Shrewsbury road as a result of alterations made as part of a planning agreement.
Rectifying the alleged defects in Thieves Lane (also known as the B4380, near the Emstrey roundabout) - following changes made to the road as part of the Euro Garages 278 planning agreement - will mean a series of overnight closures from November 15 to December 3, says Shropshire Council.
Remedial works have been planned and a contractor - Akinbuild - has been appointed to re-construct and resurface the road and pavements within the area affected.
The road will be closed overnight from 8pm to 6am and traffic will be diverted via a signed route. Access will however be maintained to properties at all times.
Shropshire Council says traffic management measures will be removed each morning by 6am with the road re-opened to all traffic.
Affected residents and businesses will be notified and advance warning signs will be erected on site two weeks before the works start.
