The A458 Welshpool Road in Shrewsbury is to be resurfaced from 14 October to 1 November 2024 as part of Shropshire Council’s annual resurfacing programme.

Work will be carried out in sections from the Clayton Way roundabout to the A5. During the work the road will be closed. Access to properties and businesses within the closure will be maintained when safe to do so. A signed diversion will be in place, along the B4386. Depending on vehicle type drivers may be able to use an alternative route.

The works will be delivered in two phases:

• Phase 1 – from roundabout at Clayton Way to Little Oxon Lane. Access to Shelton Gardens, Leighton Park and Racecourse Lane will be maintained
• Phase 2 – switch over at Little Oxon Lane junction to the boundary of Shropshire highways near the A5 roundabout

Access to Shepherds Lane and Calcott Lane is possible from Holyhead Road. For access to Bligny Crescent please approach the gatemen and access will be provided.

Please note that closure points maybe adjusted on site to minimise disruption.

Access to the park and ride will be maintained at all times. Where safe and practicable to do so, buses and emergency services will be allowed through.
