Multiple Roadworks Planned for A53 & A41

Default Featured Image

Shropshire Council LogoResidents driving into Market Drayton will have spotted signs giving advance notice of roadworks on the A53 at Tern Hill roundabout and further away. They start in early September and are planned to last for 14 weeks.
Details of current and planned roadworks can be found on the Shropshire section of roadworks.org. Information about the works can be accessed by clicking on the icons on the map. Several icons provide information relevant to the next 3 months on the A53 between Tern Hill and Adderley Road roundabouts. The main work is the resurfacing of the carriageway between these two locations. However, also included is the construction of new roundabout by Barratt Homes/David Wilson Homes to the north-east of Rush Lane. Work on the A53 is scheduled to take place between 5 September and 9 December.
Between 18 October and 29 November, the resurfacing work will be extended to cover Tern Hill roundabout and the other three approaches to it. Resurfacing on the Hodnet side of the A53 will be between Lostford Junction and the roundabout. Northwards on the A41 the work is described as going as far as Bletchley, whilst to the south the section to be resurfaced extends to Sweet Appletree Crossroads.
The roads will not be closed during the work but traffic will be controlled by a mixture of two-way and multi-way signals.
It is not difficult to imagine that this autumn travel will be difficult between Hodnet and Drayton. Hopefully, being forewarned will help us all to be prepared.
Please let the webteam know if you have any further information so we can share it with other local residents.
