Essential resurfacing work on the A495 Porth Y Waen to Llansantffraid Junction

Essential resurfacing work began this week on the A495 between Porth Y Waen and Llansantffraid Junction.

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

A signed diversion route via the A483, A490 and A495 (and vice-versa) will be in place during these times. If required, traffic lights will be used outside of these hours for safety reasons.

Access to properties and businesses within the site and emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout the work, all other traffic will have to use the diversion.

This site has been identified via a combination of asset management data and local engineering judgment and has been deemed in need of essential maintenance. 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 can be found on a dedicated webpage at shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep you informed of progress.
