National Highways to resurface A49 at Church Stretton

National Highways is planning to carry out resurfacing work on the A49 between the A49/Sandford Avenue junction and just south of Clive Avenue/Laundry Bank.

Work is anticipated to start in late September 2024.

To carry out our work safely, there will be six full weekend closures of the A49 at this location.

The full weekend closures will enable National Highways to resurface the carriageway to the required depth, recycle materials and to shorten their overall programme.

Whilst they work at this location, they will have a dedicated public liaison officer (PLO) available to answer any questions that may arise. The PLO will also be carrying out site visits prior to construction and engaging with any of the affected local residents and businesses.

Further information regarding the work will be shared in due course.

Traffic management

During this time, access to frontages will be maintained via escort/marshal systems. There may be short delays whilst National Highways ensure that the site is safe for access. They will also maintain access for emergency vehicles throughout.

During the closures, a fully signed diversion route will be installed and there will also be a weight restriction enforced along the B5477.
