A489 to close for Roveries Bridge repair work

Roveries Bridge – which carries the A489 road over the River Camlad – will be closed to traffic for repair work from 23 to 27 January 2023, from 9.30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

The work will involve the rebuilding of a damaged parapet.

To carry out the work safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic at the above times.

When the bridge is closed, traffic will be diverted via the A489, B4385 and A488 by a signed diversion route.

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the work.

Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, and people are thanked for their understanding.

The work will be carried out by Shropshire Council’s term maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
