Whitchurch Road (A5112) and Battlefield Road in Shrewsbury are to be resurfaced between 19 September and 8 October [2022] as part of Shropshire Council’s annual resurfacing programme.

The work is being carried out by Shropshire Council and its partners in the Shropshire Highways Alliance, Kier and WSP and will improve the roads’ surface and make them safer for all road users.

To minimise disruption work will be carried out overnight, from 8pm to 6am.

There are two sets of works:
