An A-road in south Shropshire is set to be closed for over a month so "essential" tree felling work can take place.
Work to fell"a large number of trees" on the A489 between Horderley and Plowden, near Church Stretton, will take place from March 25. Due to the complexity of the work, Shropshire Council says the road will be closed 24 hours a day for the duration of the work, but open on weekends and bank holidays. The work is set to be completed by May 3.
The trees must be felled because they have been affected by ash dieback, a chronic fungal disease that is killing ash trees across Europe. During the work, access to properties and businesses within the closure area will be maintained, with a signed diversion in place for all other traffic.An HGV diversion will be in place via the A488 to Clun, B4368 to Purslow, B4385 to Leintwardine, A4113 to Bromfield and A49 to Craven Arms to avoid low bridges – and vice versa.
