Bridge closed for a week for maintenance work

Clun No 2 Bridge crosses a stream on the road between Clun and Woodside

A stone road bridge in Shropshire will be closed for more than a week for essential maintenance works.

Shropshire Council will shut Clun No2 Bridge to drivers from Monday to 5 March.

Access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists would remain available, the council said.

The work involves removal of vegetation from the structure, repointing, and rebuilding of a wall.

The closed bridge carries an unclassified road over a tributary of the River Clun.

Traffic will be diverted via local roads by a signed diversion route.

The work will be carried out by Shropshire Council maintenance contractor Kier, with supervision being provided by WSP on behalf of the authority.
