A49 near Shrewsbury set be closed over the weekend after sewer pipe burst
Emergency roadworks that have closed a key road are set to last through the weekend.
Severn Trent Water says the surface of the A49 at Hadnall was damaged by a burst water main and repairs need to be carried out before the road is reopened.
Police are appealing for drivers to use either the A53 or the B5476 rather than single track roads in the area.
A spokesperson for Severn Trent Water said its teams worked overnight to fix a sewer pipe and they are "working hard" to put the road back to normal and safe again as quickly as possible.
Ben Hooley, site supervisor with Severn Trent, said: “ We’re sorry for the disruption caused by our teams repairing a burst sewer pipe on the A49.
"With the pipe now fixed, teams are working as quickly as possible to get everything else back to normal, and safe again.
