Road users in Oswestry will see big improvements to four busy roads in the town this autumn, when they’re resurfaced as part of Shropshire Council’s annual resurfacing programme.

The following roads in Oswestry are due to be treated on the dates shown

  • 4 to 29 September – B5069 – Church Street (ref 29600085)
  • 25 to 29 September – B5069 – Cross Street (ref 34800246)
  • 2 to 6 October – U0725 – Maes-Y-Clawdd (ref 29600716)
  • 2 to 17 October – B4579 – Shrewsbury Road – from Mile End roundabout to Leg Street/English Walls (ref 29600325)

Further details will be announced shortly, and will also be available on the One Network website, which can be searched using the appropriate reference number.

The roads have been identified via a combination of local engineering judgement and asset management data as being in need of resurfacing.

Shrewsbury Road was originally due to be resurfaced in 2022 but work was put back to avoid a clash with the Mile End roundabout improvements.

Chris Schofield, Shropshire Council’s deputy Cabinet member for highways, said:

“We’re working hard to improve roads across the county and our annual resurfacing programme is a big part of this. This work represents a big investment in Oswestry and will see significant and notable improvements to these four busy roads. We know that they are in need of repair and I’m pleased that work will soon be carried out.

“Every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience and disruption, and people really will notice the difference once work is complete. I want to thank them for their understanding while this important work is carried out.”

The work is being carried out by Shropshire Council and its partners in the Shropshire Highways alliance, Kier and WSP.

All planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
