Work is proposed to start on Whittery Bridge on the 18th September to 26th September 2023.
The works will involve raking out and repointing of the arch ring faces, replacement of damaged brickwork to the underside of the arch, general repointing of open joints and areas of brick stitching.
Unfortunately, in order to carry out the proposed work safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic between the hrs of 08.00 -16.00.
The School minibus will be allowed through
When the road is closed, traffic will be diverted by a signed diversion route. For more information please visit https://one.network/?tm=GB135189585
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.
Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, for which we apologise in advance. We will always endeavour to minimise any inconvenience to you.
The work will be carried out by the Council’s term maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
In order to inform the public of the proposals, advance notice signs will be erected at the bridge and an information letter delivered to local properties.
