Closure of Mill Brook Haybridge for repairs

Mill Brook Haybridge – which carries a C classified road over the River Rea near Cleobury Mortimer – will close for repairs from 10 t0 27 August [2026].

The work will involve reconstructing the right end of the upstream parapet, fencing works and general pointing following an RTC last year.

To carry out the proposed work safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic. The closure will be in force 24/7.

When the road is closed, traffic will be diverted by a signed diversion route. For more information, please visit https://one.network/?tmi=GB45050478

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the work, and access to frontages will be maintained up to the bridge closure.

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.

To inform the public of the proposals, advance notice signs will be erected at the bridge and an information letter delivered to local properties.
