Safety improvements to be carried out on Sundorne Road in Shrewsbury

Road safety improvements are set to be carried out on Sundorne Road in Shrewsbury from next Monday 25 January to Friday 29 January [2021].

The work was originally scheduled to be carried out last October, but was postponed due to the presence of a gas main at the site.

Improvements are to be made to the road markings and traffic signs at the mini-roundabout outside the Medical Centre, as part of a £1.25m programme of work being carried out this year by Shropshire Council and its contractors.

Work will be carried out between 9.30am and 4pm each day, and the road will be closed during these times.

Work will include:

• Reshaping of the mini-roundabout.
• Repositioning of illuminated traffic signs, replacement of existing signs, and provision of signs at new locations.
• Renewing road markings at the mini-roundabout.
• Removal of road markings and provision of new markings on the approach to the mini-roundabout.
• Refreshing of existing road markings along the length of Sundorne Road, from Heathgates roundabout to the A49.
• Revisions to road markings.

A signed diversion route will be in place when the road is closed and access to properties and businesses, and for emergency vehicles, will be maintained at all times.

Please follow these links to the work location plan and the diversion route for further details.

We thank residents, businesses and road users for their understanding while this important work is carried out.

The work – funded through integrated transport capital funding – is one of 14 road safety schemes being carried out across the county between April 2020 and March 2021.
