All the major road closures to look out for in Shropshire this week
Road closures are sometimes irritating but they are necessary and they're a lot more manageable if you know what routes are off limits ahead of time.
This article explains exactly what major routes, meaning those managed by National Highways, will be closed over the next week in the county.
Drivers in Shropshire will have six major road closures to watch out for, with one expected to cause moderate delays of between ten minutes and half an hour.
