Residents and road users are being invited to meet the team who have developed an intensive programme of works to tackle the deteriorating road surface along a stretch of the A49 in Shropshire.
Drivers’ journeys will be smoother and safer once work is completed on the road in Church Stretton.
The work, between the A49/B4371 Sandford Avenue junction and just south of Clive Avenue/Laundry, will also help protect the road for many years to come.
There will be two public information events on Monday, 30 June and Tuesday, 1 July where the National Highways project team and their contractors will be on hand to explain the work and the impact it will have on people’s journeys.
National Highways Project Manager, Thomas Williams, said:
“This is essential maintenance work which will restore the deteriorating road surface and help keep drivers safe – as well as
providing a smoother drive for motorists. We are doing all we can to minimise that disruption, and the work will take place overnight Monday to Friday when we know traffic numbers are lower. We will also be resurfacing the carriageway to a greater depth reducing the need to return in the future.”
The scheme starts on Monday, 4 August and is due for completion in September.
For more details, members of the public can go along to one of the following public information events at the Co-op car park in Church Stretton:
Monday 30 June from 10am to 7pm and pn Tuesday 1 July from 9am to 4pm.
