Clun Bridge is closed for repairs

Clun Bridge is closed from today for up to a week while engineers repair damage caused by vehicles.

Highways chiefs said safety fears had forced them to close the 15th century bridge, which carries the A488 over the River Clun.

Shropshire Council said the repair work would involve taking down and rebuilding the downstream parapet which has been recently damaged by a vehicle impact.

Kerbing and bollards will also be installed to try to reduce road collisions.
