Boraston Dale Bridge closed for repair from 7 October 2019

Boraston Dale Bridge will be closed for repair from Monday 7 October to Tuesday 15 October 2019. The bridge carries Wood Farm Road over the Corn Brook near Boraston Bank, Boraston.

The repair works will involve taking down and rebuilding the upstream parapet and general repointing work. The bridge must be closed to traffic while repairs are being undertaken, as the road is too narrow to for the work to be carried out safely with the bridge open to traffic.

During the road closure, traffic will be diverted using the Tenbury Road towards Cleobury Mortimer, A4117 towards Cleehill, B4214 towards Burford and Boraston Lane.

Access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available at the bridge throughout the works.

Steve Davenport, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said:-

“It is appreciated that the bridge closure will cause some inconvenience, and everyone involved will do all that they reasonably can to reopen it as soon as possible.”
