Mount Pleasant Road in Shrewsbury to be resurfaced

Mount Pleasant Road in Shrewsbury to be resurfaced between Ditherington Road and the Steam Wagon roundabout from Monday 26 October to Friday 13 November [2026].

Work will be carried out on weekdays only.

In week one work will be carried out from 9.30am to 4pm each day. In weeks two and three work will be carried out from 9.30am to 2.45pm. During these times a full road closure will be in place.

During the closures access to the work areas will be maintained for the following:

• Residents living within the closure, when safe to do so.
• Any businesses located within the closure, when safe.
• Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians
• Emergency vehicles (blue light calls).

For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

People are asked to ensure vehicles are not parked on the road whilst the work is in progress. This will help ensure that work is completed efficiently and reduce disruption.

Work will be carried out by Kier Infrastructure on behalf of Shropshire Council.

Resurfacing is a key part of maintaining the county’s roads. It improves long-term road condition, helps prevent further structural issues, and reduces the need for smaller repairs such as filling potholes.

This year more than 90 stretches of road across Shropshire are being resurfaced by Shropshire Council, and more than 70 have been surface dressed.
