Engineering work will be carried out throughout August to repair a deteriorating road surface in Shropshire.

National Highways said it would mean the closure of a section of the A49 between the B4368, at Craven Arms, and A5, at Bayston Hill.

The work is due to start on 4 August and the closures will take place overnight to reduce disruption.

Repairs are due to be completed by 13 September and National Highways said road users would "benefit from a safer, smoother road including clearer road markings".

It said the closures would start at 20:00 BST and end at 06:00, Monday to Friday.

While it said it aimed to stick to its timetable, "unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes".
