The road signs say that phase one of the A41 Newport-Sambrook Highway Improvement Scheme have been completed and a second phase is being planned.

"The two-phase project will continue in 2024, most likely during the summer months while traffic levels are reduced," a spokesperson for Telford & Wrekin Council said at the weekend when the road was reopened early.

"The full scope of work will be released in due course."

The A41 was shut by the council on July 24. The 24-hour closure was expected until at least September 3.
