Ledwyche Bridge will be closed for up to three weeks from Monday 18 September 2017 to enable parapet repairs to be undertaken.
The work will involve taking down and rebuilding the upstream bridge parapet which was damaged by vehicle impact.
The bridge carries Squirrel Lane from the Sheet Road junction to the A4117.
The bridge must be closed to traffic while repairs are being undertaken as the road is too narrow to for the work to be carried out safely with the bridge open to traffic.
During the road closure, traffic will be diverted via the A4117 and the A49.
Access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available at the bridge throughout the work.
Steve Davenport, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “It is appreciated that the bridge closure will cause some inconvenience, and everyone involved will do all that they reasonably can to reopen it as soon as possible.”
