One of the main routes into and out of Shrewsbury WILL be closed from Sunday until possibly Tuesday, says Shropshire Council.
A sewer under the road was found to have collapsed following last weekend's deluge and a traffic light system has been used by Severn Trent Water.
The original plans to close the road for the works had appeared in doubt after experts identified problems with the planned diversion route but this has now been resolved. A spokesperson for Shropshire Council said:"As part of their work to repair a collapsed sewer on Coton Hill in Shrewsbury, Severn Trent will be closing the road to traffic from noon this Sunday.It is planned that the repairs will be completed and the road resurfaced in that time.The Ellesmere Road/Berwick Road junction to and from Baschurch will be open as normal.
The council has confirmed that during the closure a signed diversion will be in place, and access to residential properties and businesses will be maintained. There will also be access for pedestrians to use the three pubs at Coton Hill; The Bird in Hand, the Royal Oak and the Woodman Inn.
