A SOUTH Shropshire bridge will be closed later this month for repair works.
A spokesperson for Shropshire Council said Clun Bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic from 16 to 19 September 16 to 19 2024 for repair work.
The closure will be in place from 9.30am to 4pm each day.
The spokesperson said the work will involve taking down and rebuilding damaged sections to both parapets, and general pointing works on the bridge, which is hundreds of years old.
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.
The work will be carried out by Shropshire Council’s maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
