Temporary traffic lights and road closures planned as council tackles Bridgnorth's potholes and rock face

There will be temporary traffic lights and full road closures in place as Shropshire Council plans to resurface roads in Bridgnorth and shore up the rock face overlooking the town.

Resurfacing will be carried out on Underhill Street, Hollybush Road, New Road and West Castle Street, and along with the rock face work, will take place between September 14 to October 2, in three phases, Shropshire Council said.

Phase one from September 14 to 18 will see the resurfacing of Underhill Street, from Low Town Bridge to the B4363 junction, as well as the rock face work.

In phase two, from September 21 to 25 will see resurfacing of Hollybush Road from B4364 junction to Oldbury Wells School junction.

While phase three will see resurfacing of Hollybush Road from Oldbury Wells School junction to Pound Street/Listley Street roundabout from September 28 to October 2.

During the works, the council said a full road closure will be in place from 9.30 to 4pm and access to the work areas will be limited residents and businesses living within the closure, pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and emergency vehicles.

For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

The council added that access to Oldbury Wells School will still be maintained throughout the works and two-way temporary traffic lights will be in operation at the B4373/Oldbury Wells junction to manage traffic movements.
