Coton Hill, Shrewsbury to close for emergency works

Severn Trent Water will be closing Coton Hill in Shrewsbury from around 7am tomorrow morning (Tuesday 11 July), until further notice, for emergency works.

Following last weekend’s storms a void has been discovered within the carriageway and it is believed that their sewer has collapsed, causing damage to the road and footpath.

While the road is closed a diversion route will be in place via A528 Ellesmere Road, A5124 Battlefield Link Road, A5112 Battlefield/Whitchurch Road, A5112 Telford Way to Meole Brace via Robertson Way/Bage Way, B4380 Roman Road/ Shelton Road, A458 The Mount, to Smithfield Road (and vice versa).

Separate arrangements will also be in place for HGVs.

Severn Trent will allow access to businesses and residential properties on either side of the road closure.

Shropshire Council officers have been out today to empty gullies and clear the road of debris.
