Two sets of roadworks are planned in the Battlefields area of Shrewsbury. These works are part of our capital maintenance programme and will improve the road surface and driver safety. To minimise disruption we'll be working during off-peak hours from 8pm to 6am. Clearly marked diversions will be in place, and should you require access to your property or business during these hours please contact the gatemen on the day. Please read the notes at the end of this webpage on access arrangements under 'Information for local residents'.

Access to properties and businesses within the works will be maintained.

Please note that all our planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.

There are two sets of works:

A5112 Whitchurch Road (Harlescott Lane to Heathgates Roundabout)

19 September – 1 October overnight works from 8pm to 6am.

On the following map (also attached to this page) the red line shows closure extents and the green line shows diversion routes.
