Power work to shut Shropshire road
The A483 will be subject to an overnight closure as part of a £22 million project to reinforce the electricity network on the Shropshire border.
As part of the project, Scottish Power has agreed a programme of work to construct the new power line across the road in the Ruabon and Johnstown areas, between Oswestry and Wrexham.
The work will take place overnight on March 14 and 28.
On these evenings from 11pm to 2am the A483 will be closed on the northbound carriageway between junctions one and three and on the southbound carriageway closed between junctions two and three.
Signposted diversions will be in place via the B5605 and B5426 for Ruabon and Johnstown.
Due to a height restriction on the diversionary route, high sided vehicles – those taller than 14ft 9in – will be escorted through the works area.
Mark Sobczak, head of 132kV programmes at SP Energy Networks said: "We are committed to investing in our electricity network, and this project will reinforce the security of electricity supplies for over 130,000 homes and businesses across Mid Wales and north Shropshire. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and we would like to thank local communities for their patience."
