A Multihog in action in south Shropshire
Shropshire Council’s two Multihog road planer machines will be tackling more potholes on roads across Shropshire throughout this month [May 2026].
The Multevo Multihog planes off the road surface to enable a squared-off hole to be filled by a following gang. It’s quicker than having to saw-cut and break-out the defective road by hand – tackling potholes and other defects more quickly and effectively.
In May the Multihogs and their crews are set to treat the following roads.
Multihog 1
- Friday 1 May – Shrewsbury Road south of Annscroft to junction with Great Lyth Farm (Section 1)
- Tuesday 5 May – Shrewsbury Road from junction with Great Lyth Farm to junction with Chatford Lane (Section 2)
- Monday 11 May – New Barn junction to junction Trefonen Hall, Trefonen
- Tuesday 26 May – B4367, Broome Road, Clungunford
- Thursday 28 May – B4367, Clungunford to Hopton Heath
Multihog 2
- Friday 1 May – Warrant Road, Rosehill – Sections 1 and 2
- Friday 8 May – A458, Crosshouses
- Thursday 14 May – Barnsley to Roughton junction, Bridgnorth (Section 1)
- Tuesday 19 May – Lower Lodge Farm A458 junction to Barnsley (Section 2)
- Tuesday 26 May – Fishmore Road End. To Lodge Court Farm junction, Ludlow
Work is carried out on weekdays only, between 9.30am and 4pm.
Each Multihog can treat 9,000m² of road each month, reduces the likelihood of potholes forming in the short-to-medium term, and cuts down on the need for road closures.
