Newport road closed for essential sewer work
A road closure will be in place in Newport from today for five days.
Essential sewer connection works being undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent will see Stafford Street close from the roundabout of the High Street to the traffic lights at the junction with Water Lane and Audley Road.
While these works are not being carried out by, or on behalf of, Telford & Wrekin Council, the closure will impact on residents, drivers and bus users.
Diversion signage will be in place throughout the closure in order that drivers are still able to access their destinations and bypass Stafford Street.
The contractors will be working to keep disruption to a minimum and access will be maintained for residents.
A number of bus routes will be affected during this time, services 17, 18 and 19 will not use Stafford Street or the bus interchange with the nearest stop being the High Street.
Bus service 481 will not serve Granville Road, High Street or the bus interchange.
The 519 bus service will not serve the bus interchange but the High Street will be used as an alternative stop.
Further information about the bus route changes during the closure can be found on the council’s website www.telford.gov.uk/publictransport and at local bus stops.
