Essential resurfacing work on the B5065 Prees Green to Lower Heath from 30 January

Essential resurfacing work is to begin on Monday 30 January 2017 on the B5065 Prees Green to Lower Heath.

The work will take six weeks and will be undertaken under a full road closure between 9.30am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.

During these times a diversion route via Prees (via A41 and A49 and vice-versa) will be in place. Traffic lights might be used outside of these hours if required.

Roadworks outside the primary school will take place during half-term (20 to 24 February 2017).

Access to properties and businesses will be maintained throughout the work.

Simon Jones, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said:

“These roadworks are essential in refurbishing the road so that it continues to meet the needs of the community and through traffic long into the future. As such we ask for people’s patience and support while the work is carried out and offer our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused.”

Information about the work – including a map and diversion route – can be found on a dedicated webpage at shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep people informed of progress.
