High Street, Albrighton to be resurfaced

Related topics: Highways, transport and environmental maintenance

High Street in Albrighton is to be resurfaced from Monday 15 to Tuesday 23 June [2026].

Work will be carried out from 9.30am to 4pm each day (weekdays only) when the road will be closed.

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.
    • Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians
    • Emergency vehicles (blue light calls)

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.

People are asked to ensure vehicles are not parked on the road whilst the work is in progress.

The work involves resurfacing the road with a new asphalt layer, applied by a paving machine and compacted to create a smooth, durable surface. Resurfacing is a key part of maintaining our roads. It improves long-term road condition, helps prevent further structural issues, and reduces the need for smaller repairs such as filling potholes.

This year more than 90 stretches of road across Shropshire are being resurfaced by Shropshire Council, and more than 70 are being surface dressed.

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/

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