Temporary lights on Mytton Oak Road, Shrewsbury for cabling work

Temporary traffic lights will be in place on Mytton Oak Road, Shrewsbury from Monday 2 February to Friday 20 March [2026] while S&R Construction carry out high-voltage cabling work

The work is required to provide the power supply for the new Shropshire Homes housing development off Mytton Oak Road.

During the work S & R Construction will be laying cable between Gains Park Way and the electricity substation on Mytton Oak Road, opposite Montague Walk. For safety purposes, a rolling temporary traffic signal setup will be utilised, with the work undertaken in phased sections.

A traffic management operative will man the temporary traffic signals between 7am and 7pm each day to actively manage signal timings and respond to any issues whilst the signals are in operation.

Affected residents and businesses will be notified and advance warning signs will be erected on site prior to the work starting.

To help minimise disruption to emergency services and to patients and staff at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital the phase of work crossing the hospital entrances and egress points will be undertaken overnight. This will ensure that no traffic management is in place at either of the two hospital entrance/egress points during the daytime.
