Dear All,
I would like to inform you that the works to repair the collapsed retaining wall at Milford Bridge have been programmed to start on 1st July 2019 and are expected to last for up to 6 weeks. The repair works will involve taking down and rebuilding the collapsed section of retaining wall and reinstating the carriageway.
Due to the nature of the repairs a road closure will be required for the duration of the works. While the road is closed traffic will be diverted via Little Ness and the B4397. You can view the closure and diversion route by clicking here: https://roadworks.org?tm=113639908
Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists may be limited at times particularly during excavation on the carriageway however the contractor will accommodate as much as possible.
The contractor carrying out the work will be Kier with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of Shropshire Council.
Advance notice signs will be erected at the bridge 2 weeks prior to works commencing and an information letter will also be delivered to local properties but in the meantime if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards
