Coppice Green Lane, Shifnal – roadworks update

The roadworks at Coppice Green Lane in Shifnal have unfortunately not progressed as well as had been previously anticipated and further temporary traffic management will be required.

The full-time closure will still be removed on Tuesday 5 September and replaced with a daytime closure only – from 9.30am to 2pm – on weekdays until Friday 22 September. This will still enable school traffic, buses and residents to access premises and properties outside of the closure times.

As the full road width of Coppice Green Lane will not be available for two-way use by vehicles, traffic will be managed using temporary traffic signals and will operate by letting one flow of traffic through at any one time.

During the peak school times – 8.30am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm – the traffic lights will be manually operated by our contractors to ensure that waiting time for vehicles accessing and leaving the school grounds in minimised. The traffic flows will, however, be monitored during these times and extended if necessary. For the remainder of the time traffic will be managed by traffic signals.

It is anticipated that a full one-day closure will take place on Sunday 24 September to complete the carriageway surfacing works, however this is yet to be confirmed and is dependent on progress made over the next couple of weeks.

We do apologise for the prolonged disruption. To help expedite the works and minimise the inconvenience that has been caused, our contractors anticipate working some weekends, which could entail a full closure for the day. However this is dependent on progress over the next week.
