Longden Road, Shrewsbury to be resurfaced

Longden Road in Shrewsbury is to be resurfaced from Monday 22 July to Wednesday 7 August 2024, with work to take place in three phases.

• Phase 1 – 22 to 25 July: Road closure – Coleham pedestrian crossing to Belle Vue Gardens.
• Phase 2 – 24 to 26 July: Road closure – Belle Vue Gardens to South Hermitage
• Phase 3 – 29 July to 7 August: Road closure – South Hermitage to Longden Island.

Work will take place between 9.30am and 4pm each day, and the road will be closed during these times.

During the closures a signed diversion will be place – and access/egress for properties  and businesses within the closure will be maintained when safe to do so. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

People are asked not to park on the road during the day whilst the work is in progress.
