Overnight A5 closures to begin tonight
A series of overnight closures are due to start tonight on the A5 between Shrewsbury and Telford as the carriageway is resurfaced.
The programme will last until August 23 and will include work on the slip roads of the M54 at junction 7 for Wellington in both directions.
Alistair Harris, spokesman for Highways England, said: "We are making big improvements to drivers' journeys along the A5, with new high-friction surfacing which offers extra grip to improve safety and enable smoother journeys. At the same time, we'll be repainting roadmarkings and renewing linings and studs.
"We've programmed our work to take place overnight to cause minimum disruption to drivers. We apologise for any inconvenience."
The road will be closed from 8pm to 6am between the Preston Boats roundabout and the M54 junction 7, and diversions will be put in place.
