Closure of Brooksmeeting No 1 Bridge for repairs

Brooksmeeting No 1 Bridge, which carries a ‘C’ classified road over Borle Brook, will be closed to traffic from 14 November to 9 December [2022] for repair work. The bridge is located between Bridgnorth and Cleobury Mortimer.

The normal working hours will be 8am to 4pm each day.

The repair work consists of taking down and rebuilding a damaged section of the downstream parapet, wing wall, spandrel and repairs to the approach fencing.

To carry out the work safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic.

When the bridge is closed, traffic will be diverted via local roads by a signed diversion route.

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the proposed work.

Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, though we will always endeavour to minimise any inconvenience and people are thanked for their understanding.

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