Police looking out for wrong-way drivers trying to dodge Shrewsbury road closure
Drivers going down a one-way Shrewsbury street the wrong way to avoid a road diversion have been warned that police are looking out for them.
Monkmoor Road in Shrewsbury is currently under daytime closure as part of Shropshire Council's resurfacing works.
The work is expected to last until August 25, with the road being closed from 9.30am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, and 8am to 5pm on Sunday.
But police say they are receiving reports of vehicles contravening the no entry sign on nearby Underdale Road and using it as a short cut to avoid the diversion.
A spokesperson from West Mercia Police said: "This course of action could cause an accident and the driver could be liable for any damages or injuries that may occur.
"This junction will now be monitored and positive action taken to any offenders this could be a fine or even penalty points. Please adhere to the official diversion's route."
