Bridgnorth to Broseley road reopens after gas main work

The B4373 Bridgnorth to Broseley has now fully reopened to traffic following extensive work by National Grid to repair a gas main.

The project to repair the gas main was essential to maintain a safe gas supply in the area, and was led by National Grid, with Shropshire Council arranging diversion routes and traffic management.

Claire Wild, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said:

“We appreciate this work caused a great deal of inconvenience to residents and businesses in the Bridgnorth and Broseley areas, but it was clear from our discussions with National Grid that the project was essential.”

The road reopened on Sunday 3 November 2013.

Jean Jones, local Shropshire Councillor for Broseley, said:

“This is good news – it will be a huge relief to our community, who have been considerably disadvantaged by this closure.”

David Turner, local Shropshire Councillor for Much Wenlock, added:

“Local residents living near this route will welcome the end of this major infrastructure project, and we appreciate their co-operation during this upheaval.”
