Sutton Park roundabout roadworks to get underway
Work on the next phase of a multi-million pound transport package in Shrewsbury was due to get underway today.
Drivers in the town have been warned to brace themselves for more disruption due to resurfacing works at Sutton Park roundabout.
The town is currently at the centre of the £12 million Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package (SITP), with roadworks currently taking place at Meole Brace roundabout.
The latest work, which is also part of SITP, will see potential disruption at Sutton Park roundabout between today and May 5.
The work will start with lane closures, and then from April 18 to May 5, resurfacing work will be carried out overnight between 8pm and 6am.
During those times the roundabout at Pritchard Way/Hazledine Way on the A5112 will be closed and a diversion route will be in place, taking drivers along Wenlock Road and Oteley Road.
Access to Whitecroft Road from the roundabout will be maintained under two-way traffic lights while access to Sutton Lane and adjoining roads will be provided via Reabrook Avenue and Adams Ridge.
A series of roadworks are planned as part of the SITP throughout 2017.
Steve Brown, highways, transport and environmental maintenance manager with Shropshire Council, said: “We appreciate that this work will cause some disruption and inconvenience but we’re aiming to minimise this by carrying out the resurfacing work overnight and ensuring that access to Whitecroft Road is maintained.”
