Contractor Kier is to start essential repair work on Morton Bridge in Shropshire.

The bridge is to close from 21 November to 1 December.

The work will involve taking down and rebuilding the downstream parapet and general pointing works following a road traffic collision earlier this year.


To carry out the work safely the bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic from 9.30am to 4pm each day, with two-way traffic lights in use between 4pm and 9.30am.

When the bridge is closed, traffic will be diverted by a signed diversion route.

Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the works, and access to frontages will be maintained up to the bridge closure.

Supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
