Crew Green Bridge to close on 26 June for inspection

Crew Green Bridge – which carries an unclassified road over the River Severn – will be closed on 26 June [2024] for one day for a bridge inspection.

The inspection will require the use of a specialist underbridge unit. Unfortunately, in order to carry out the proposed inspection safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

When the road is closed, traffic will be diverted by a signed diversion route.

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, and people are thanked for their patience.

The closure will be carried out by Shropshire Council’s term maintenance contractor Kier, with the principal bridge inspection being undertaken by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
