Rockface inspections along the B4378 in Brockton and Bourton – from 16 March 2022
The B4378 will be temporarily closed for three days in Brockton from Wednesday 16 March 2022 from 9.30am to 4pm each day, for proposed inspection of rockfaces adjacent to the carriageway. Then, the B4378 will be temporarily closed for three days in Bourton from Monday 21 March 2022 from 9.30am to 4pm each day, for proposed inspection of rockfaces adjacent to the carriageway.
These temporary closures are so the proposed works are safely carried out. In addition, we will be looking to undertake other essential maintenance works such as pothole repairs and gully/ drainage cleansing along the closed sections of road, to minimise any future disruption.
Whilst the road is closed traffic will be diverted along the B4378, A458 and B4368 by a signed diversion.
Access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the inspection and access to frontages will be maintained up to the rock faces throughout the proposed work.
Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for physical infrastructure, said:-
“Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, for which we apologise in advance of the day. We will always endeavour to minimise any inconvenience to you.”
The contractor carrying out the road closure will be Kier. The Inspection team will be provided by Arbus and overall supervision of the works by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
