The changes by Shropshire Council also include improvements to walking and cycling routes in the town centre.
The work – being carried out by local company McPhillips Ltd on behalf of Shropshire Council – is set to start on Monday. It has been externally funded, and is set to be completed by summer 2025.
The project will see changes to the the gyratory next to Shrewsbury railway station, connecting Castle Gates (A5191), Chester Street (A528), Smithfield Road (A458) and Cross Street (A528), along with areas to the north and south.
While preparatory work to prepare the area for construction (including utility diversions) will begin on Monday, the rest of the project is set to be carried out in phases. Next week's work is not likely to impact on traffic movement, Shropshire Council said.
However, phase one of the work begins on Monday, June 24 and will include work on Castle Foregate and Castle Gates, and with the closure of the left-hand lane on Castle Gates. From July 8 the bus stop outside the station will be moved to outside the Britannia Inn.
