Welsh Bridge in Shrewsbury to close for repairs on 1 December-2 December 2019

Welsh Bridge in Shrewsbury will be closed for repair from 8pm on Sunday 1 December 2019 until 4am on Monday 2 December 2019.

The repair works will involve repair works to a dislodged section of the upstream left parapet, and some general vegetation removal will also be undertaken at the same time.

The bridge carries the A458 over the River Severn, Shrewsbury.

The bridge must be closed to traffic while repairs are being undertaken, as the road is too narrow to for the work to be carried out safely with the bridge open to traffic.

During the road closure, traffic will be diverted via the B4386, B4380, A5191,A5112, A458/A5191, with reverse diversion via A5191, A459, A5112, B4380 and B4386.

Access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available at the bridge throughout the works.
