Roadworks

A41 Roadworks 25 – 27 March 2024

The A41 (from 40 mph to derestriction sign at Tern Hill. See map) will be closed for repairs/patching work from Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 March, ahead of the road being surface dressed later this year.

Work will be carried out from 9.30am to 4pm each day.

When the road is closed a signed diversion will be in place. Depending on their vehicle type people may be able to choose their own shorter diversion route.

Access will be provided for any properties and businesses within the closure, with staff on site able to assist.

Crudgington Roadworks

There are 4-way traffic lights at the A442/B5062 crossroads in Crudgington. They are scheduled to be there for 40 weeks. Allow lots of extra time for your journeys.

Closure of A49 north of Shrewsbury Monday 25th September – Wednesday 4th October 2023

Essential road repairs are to be carried out on the A49 from Halls roundabout to Astley Lane, Hadnall from Monday 25 September to Wednesday 4 October – from 9.30am to 4pm each day.

While work is being carried out the road will be closed, with a signed diversion route in place.

Access to residential properties and business within the closure will be maintained – along with access for emergency vehicles.

Advance notice signs, advising of the forthcoming closure, will be erected prior to work starting.

A53 Roadworks 29 August – 7 September 2023

The A53 between Battlefield and the Muller Roundabout will be subject to night closures for carriageway repairs. Closures will be from 20:00 – 06:00. The work will be carried out in 4 phases:

Phase 1 – Battlefield to Shawbury – 29/08/2023-30/08/2023 (1 night)

Phase 2 – Shawbury to Hodnet – 30/08/2023-01/09/2023 (2 nights)

Phase 3 – Hodnet to Tern Hill roundabout – 04/09/2023-05/09/2023 (1 night)

Phase 4 – Tern Hill roundabout to Muller roundabout – 05/09/2023-07/09/2023 (2 nights)

A41 Roadworks

The dual carriageway section of the A41 will be closed on 17th and 18th July. Inevitably, that will mean increased traffic and heavy lorries through Marchamley and Hodnet: Take extra care.

The A41 is to be closed between Hinstock and the roundabout with the A519 from 24th July until 1st September. There is a very lengthy diversion but it seems more likely that the A41 will be avoided altogether by drivers who are used to diverting through Hodnet.

Upcoming roadworks at Tesco Extra in Shrewsbury …

Work to install new traffic lights and pedestrian crossing facilities at the Tesco Extra junction in Shrewsbury will be carried out from 24 July for six weeks.

The work will involve the removal of the existing traffic lights, and their replacement with new signals and safer pedestrian crossing facilities. The new equipment will also be more energy efficient.

The pedestrian crossing between The Range and Go Outdoors on Arlington Way will also be modified to make it a staggered signalised crossing. This will involve a significant amount of construction work on the central refuge.

For the duration of the work there will be temporary four-way traffic lights and pedestrian crossing facilities, with delays expected.
