Waterloo Street re-opens nine days ahead of schedule
Telford & Wrekin Council is pleased to announce that Waterloo Street in Ironbridge has been re-opened this afternoon (Wed 2 Dec) – nine days ahead of the projected date.
The council said when work started on November 23 for a projected three weeks that it planned to get the work finished as early as possible.
In the event, the work has taken just nine days and the re-opening of the road will ease the pressure on local businesses in Ironbridge.
Councillor Angela McClements, Telford & Wrekin Council’s cabinet member for Communities, said: “I would like to apologise to residents and businesses that have been affected but I’m pleased that we have delivered on our promise to get the road open early.
“I would also like to congratulate our contractor McPhillips for pulling out all the stops to get the work done as quickly as possible.
“I know that residents and businesses in Ironbridge have felt the pressure because of The Wharfage closing as well because of rising water levels in the River Severn but at least now Waterloo Street is back open.”
