Speed limits plan during roadworks on A49
National Highways will be carrying out work on one of Shropshire’s major roads in the coming weeks.
A number of speed limits are set to be put in place for the A49 north of Leebotwood, before work takes place later this month on the same road south of Ashford Bowdler.
The restrictions on the Leebotwood stretch will come into force on Monday, January 23, and will last until Friday, January 27.
They will be in place for 24 hours a day, and include a variety of 10, 20 and 40mph speed limits. The 10mph limit will be in place while signs display ‘convoy working’.
The second set of work is being organised to allow for a water main connection.
It will take place to the south of Ashford Bowdler from Monday, January 30.
Currently it is expected that the work will last for five days, between 8am and 6pm.
Again the restrictions will include 10, 20, and 40mph limits on the route – with the 10mph limits applying while signs display ‘convoy working’.
