Fitz Bridge: temporary road closure on 17 December 2021

Proposed bridge repair work requires the temporary closure of Fitz Bridge, which carries a C classified road over the River Perry between Forton farm junction to the B5067 junction to Leaton, on Friday 17 December 2021 – just for that day.

The work will involve parapet repairs, general repointing and vegetation clearance.

Due to the nature of the repair work a road closure will be required between 9.30am and 4pm. While the road is closed, traffic will be diverted via local roads and the B5067 by a signed diversion.

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the works and access to frontages will be maintained up to the bridge closure.

Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, for which we apologise in advance.

The works will be carried out by the council’s term maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
