A Multihog in action near Stapleton
Shropshire Council’s two Multihog road planer machines will be tackling more potholes on the county’s roads in August [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 August the Multihogs and their crews are set to treat the following roads.
Multihog 1
- Monday 10 August – Two Gates Junction to Broughton Farm Junction, Claverley
- Friday 14 August – Draycott, Claverley
- Wednesday 19 August – A454 from Junction East of Swancote to Wyken Crossroads, Bridgnorth
- Thursday 27 August – Stanley Lane, Shrewsbury
Multihog 2
- Tuesday 4 August – Junction with B5009 to Iron Mills Junction, Gobowen (section 3)
- Monday 17 August – Dark Lane, Broseley
- Friday 21 August – Lower Cross Lanes Crossroads to Church Junction, Heath
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.
