Pride In Our Community improvements - week starting 25 June
Here’s what our crews are working on this week.
A442 Eastern Primary closure – Telford’s main north/south trunk road will be closed between Wombridge Interchange and Hollinswood Roundabout from Wednesday June 27 to Tuesday July 2. This is to allow one of Europe’s largest cranes to be assembled on the carriageway ahead of swinging the rail section of the new footbridge into place.
