This morning (Tuesday 14 November 2017) a lorry overturned on the A41, north of Standford Bridge (to the north of Newport).

Temporary traffic lights are now in place to allow the lorry’s load to be safely transferred to another lorry. It is hoped that this will be completed before the rush hour starts.

At 7pm this evening (Tuesday), a full emergency road closure will implemented to allow the lorry to be uprighted. This will result in the following, lengthy, diversion.

  •  A41 north of the Forton Road roundabout at the Chester Road Junction
  • Chester Road to the B5062 junction
  • B5062 to A442 at Crudgington Crossroads
  • A442 to A53 roundabout at Hodnet
  • A53 to Tern Hill Roundabout, where traffic will re-join the A41

It is hoped the recovery will take approximately two hours, but this is subject to change.
