Brookside Bridge near Kinnerley is closed for repairs

Brookside Bridge, which carries the C1057 Knockin Road  from Kinnerley to Pentre through Edgerley over a small brook, is closed for repairs for up to five days; the closure started on Monday 17 December 2012. 

The work is to rebuild one of the bridge’s parapets, which was recently demolished as a result of road accident. 

Unfortunately, because of the narrow nature of the bridge, it has been necessary to close the road to traffic to carry out the work safely. 

Traffic is being diverted via Kinnerley, Nesscliff, and Wilcott. 

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists remains available throughout the work. 

Simon Jones, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member responsible for bridge maintenance, said:

“It is appreciated that the proposed work will cause some inconvenience, and everyone involved is doing all that they reasonably can to keep this to a minimum.”
