Resurfacing work on the A41
More than 30 stretches of road in Shropshire are set to be resurfaced in the 2025/26 financial year, as Shropshire Council continues its programme of work to improve the county’s roads.
The 33 sites (see list below) have been identified via a combination of local engineering judgment and asset management data as being in need of resurfacing. The sites form part of a countywide programme of schemes, scheduled to deliver the work in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
The programme can also be seen on the council website.
To ensure value for money, roads that are likely to need costly repairs in the future are prioritised.
Dates for the work will be added to the One Network interactive roadworks website once known. The map can be searched using the reference number for each site found on the webpage.
Dan Morris, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways, said:
“We’re committed to improving our roads and making them safer for all road users. Our annual resurfacing programme is an important part of this and represents a significant investment in the county’s roads. It will greatly improve stretches of roads across Shropshire and help to prevent potholes and other problems occurring in the future.
“I’m sure the work will be welcomed by people who use these stretches of road and I thank people for their patience and understanding while this important work is carried out.”
Meanwhile, 41 stretches of road across Shropshire are set to be treated this spring and summer as part of Shropshire Council’s annual surface dressing programme.
