Related topics: Highways, transport and environmental maintenance

The B4380 and B5061 from Atcham to Uppington, and the B4380 from Emstrey Bank End to the junction with the B5061, are due to be surface dressed in the coming weeks.

The B4380 and B5061 from Atcham to Uppington (see map below) will be treated between Tuesday 14 April and Wednesday 27 May [2026]. Work will be carried out in three phases as follows, when the road will be closed from 9.30am to 4pm on weekdays, and from 6am to 6pm on weekends.

  • 14 April – Road closure for stud removal
  • 14 to 17 May – Road closure for surface dressing
  • 26 to 27  May – Road closure for white lining

The B4380 from Emstrey Bank End to the junction with the B5061 (see map below) will be treated between Tuesday 21 April and Friday 5 June [2026]. Work will be carried out in three phases as follows, when the road will be closed from 9.30am to 4pm on weekdays.

  • 21 April – Road closure for stud removal
  • 20 to 21 May – Road closure for surface dressing
  • 5 June  – Road closure for white lining

In both cases the road will have an initial sweep within 24 hours of the new surface being laid. The sweeper returns after seven days to remove any residual loose chippings.

Attingham Park and other local businesses
When roads are closed, Attingham Park will remain open with access via Emstrey Island. Please follow the diversions in place and allow a little extra time for your journey. Businesses in the area – including Home Farm and the the Mytton and Mermaid – will remain open as normal during the works.

During the closures access to the work areas will be maintained for the following:

    • Residents living within the closure, when safe to do so.
    • Businesses located within the closure, when safe to do so.
    • Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians.
    • Emergency vehicles.
    • Essential highway personnel.
    • Utility or public service vehicles when safe to do so.

For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

Work will be carried out by Kier Infrastructure on behalf of Shropshire Council.

Further information

The roads are two of more than 70 stretches of road across Shropshire being treated this year as part of Shropshire Council’s surface dressing programme.

Surface dressing is a quick, efficient and cost-effective way of preventing potholes, maintaining skid-resistance and waterproofing road surfaces. It forms a major part of the council’s annual road maintenance programme and is being carried out alongside other preventative and reactive maintenance work.

All planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be displayed on the yellow advanced warning signs and on https://one.network/
