Finishing touches being put to Mile End junction in Oswestry

The finishing touches are being put to the Mile End junction in Oswestry after a major upgrade.

Workers are currently putting the final touches to the new roundabout and surrounding area, with the final surfacing and road marking activities set to be completed this week.

This leaves topsoiling, seeding and planting as the majority of the tasks remaining.

The work at Mile End is nearing completion

There are a series of CCTV surveys we are required to undertake during April 2022 on the new drainage systems we have installed, so that when National Highways take over the maintenance and responsibility for these systems, there is a record of the built condition.

To provide our people with a safe working area, from time to time it is necessary to utilise short term traffic management on the new road alignment.

This involves intermittent use of temporary traffic lights set up in off-peak periods at the new junction to help safely complete the works.

When we do this, we try to keep it to necessary activities and minimise the length of any disruption.

A schedule of expected short term traffic management at Mile End is shown below:

Week commencing 14 February
