Elsewhere, traffic will be prohibited from part of a major route in north Shropshire for nine nights.
The A49 between the Chester Road roundabout and Hinton Bank roundabout, in Whitchurch, will close so the carriageway can be repaired.

An alternative route has been planned which will advise travelling on the A49, the A534, and the A41.
