Clun Bridge to close for repair work

Clun Bridge is to close next month for repair work.

The bridge will be closed from 21 to 23 June [2023] for work to take down and rebuild damaged sections to both parapets, and general pointing works.

To carry out the proposed work safely it will be necessary to close the bridge to vehicular traffic. The closure will be in force from 9.30am to 4pm.

When the road 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.

Every effort will be made to minimise disruption during the work.

The work will be carried out by Shropshire Council’s term maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
