The English Bridge gyratory

As one part of the Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package came to an end on Saturday, improvement works are due to begin at the English Bridge gyratory and Coleham Head.

The work was due to start on today, but Shropshire Council say that has been delayed by a day.

WATCH: Matt Johnson, strategic highways and contracts manager with Shropshire Council, explains what work is to be carried out, and why.

Drivers and local businesses have been promised that there will be no full, round-the-clock, road closures while work is carried out, but there will be isolated short-term closures on Old Potts Way, where traffic will flow one way, Old Abbey Foregate and Old Coleham.

There will be a full night-time closure of the gyratory, including English Bridge, Abbey Foregate and the Coleham Head junction for resurfacing from 8pm to 6am for a two-week period from the mid to end of October.
