Week-long road closure later this month for repairs to bridge in south Shropshire
A road bridge near the Shropshire border with Powys will be closed for a number of days according to a council.
The Roveries Bridge – which carries the A489 road over the River Camlad, at Snead near Bishop's Castle – will be closed to traffic for repair work from January 23 to 27.
It will be shut from 9.30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
The work will involve the rebuilding of a damaged parapet.
A spokesman for Shropshire Council said: "When the bridge is closed, traffic will be diverted via the A489, B4385 and A488 by a signed diversion route.
"Access over the bridge for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will remain available throughout the work.
"Inevitably there will be some disruption during these works, and people are thanked for their understanding."
