A South Shropshire bridge will be closed for five days from next week for repair work.
Chorley Bridge will be closed from next Monday until Friday.
The work will involve masonry repairs to the upstream and downstream parapet.
The bridge carries an unclassified road from Chorley Junction to The Miners Junction over a side tributary of Baveney Brook to the east of Stottesdon. The bridge must be closed to traffic while repairs are being undertaken, as the road is too narrow for the work to be carried out safely with the bridge open to traffic.
Traffic will be diverted via Blundale towards Stottesdon and around local roads.
Madge Shineton, local Shropshire Councillor for Cleobury Mortimer, said: “Chorley Bridge is like a number in our area, an attractive addition to our beautiful landscape but essential for our community communications.”
