Resurfacing work closes Coton Hill in Shrewsbury to inbound traffic
Motorists visiting Shrewsbury town centre this weekend are being advised that Coton Hill will be closed to inbound traffic from its junction with Berwick Road to Cross Street, between 8am today and 6am on Monday.
Cross Street and Howard Street are closed to allow resurfacing to take place as part of the northern gateway enhancement scheme, and Coton Hill inbound will be closed too.
While Coton Hill inbound is closed, a signed diversion route will be in place via Ellesmere Road, Harlescott Lane, Whitchurch Road, Ditherington Road, Spring Gardens, St Michael’s Street and Castle Foregate.
A stretch of road near the sorting office on Castle Foregate will also be resurfaced after a number of potholes appeared during the recent cold spell.
Simon Jones, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member responsible for highways, said:
“Though this closure will cause some disruption to road users, the important message is that Shrewsbury will be open for business on Sunday and people can still access the town, though may need to take a different route in. I hope drivers will bear with us while this important work to improve this key entrance to the town is carried out.”
