A Multihog in action

Shropshire Council’s Multihog road planer machines will be tackling more potholes on the county’s roads in October [2026].

The Multevo Multihog planes off the road surface to enable a squared-off hole to be filled by a following gang. It’s quicker than having to saw-cut and break-out the defective road by hand – tackling potholes and other defects more quickly and effectively.

In October two Multihogs and their crews are set to treat the following roads. Work is carried out on weekdays only, between 9.30am and 4pm, except where stated.

Multihog 1

  • Monday 5 October – Pulverbatch junction Hollies to Long Lane Crossroads, Shrewsbury
  • Monday 12 October – Comley junction to Manor Farm junction, Cardington
  • Monday 19 October – Washford Road, Shrewsbury (9.30am to 2.45pm)

Multihog 2

  • Monday 5 October – Cooks Cross, Alveley (9.30am to 2.45pm)
  • Friday 9 October – Birch Grove, Alveley
  • Tuesday 13 October – Butterfield Lane End to B4385 junction Three Ashes, Hopton Castle
  • Tuesday 20 October – Rosehill Drive, Bridgnorth
  • Thursday 22 October – Watling Street, Craven Arms
  • Tuesday 27 October – Sydney Cottage Drive, Bridgnorth

Each Multihog can treat 9,000m² of road each month, reduces the likelihood of potholes forming in the short-to-medium term, and cuts down on the need for road closures.
