A Multihog in action in south Shropshire
Shropshire Council’s two Multihog road planer machines will be tackling potholes on roads across Shropshire throughout November.
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 November the Multihogs and their crews are set to treat the following roads.
Multihog 1
- Friday 31 October to Tuesday 4 November – B4367, Church Road, Clungunford
- Tuesday 4 November to Thursday 6 November – Ruewood Chapel to Tilley Road
- Thursday 6 November to Monday 10 November – Chapel Lane to Tilley
- Monday 10 November to Thursday 13 November – St Johns Hill, Ellesmere
- Wednesday 12 November to Thursday 20 November – Sandy Lane, Grinshill
- Thursday 20 November to Tuesday 25 November – Grinshill Hope Farm to A49
- Tuesday 25 November to Monday 1 December – Sansaw to A528 Pimhill
Multihog 2
- Monday 3 November to Tuesday 4 November – Coalport Road, Broseley
- Tuesday 4 November to Tuesday 11 November – Ironbridge Road, Broseley
- Tuesday 11 November to Thursday 13 November – Patshull Lane, Bonningale (Section 1)
- Thursday 13 November to Monday 17 November – Patshull Lane, Bonningale (Section 2)
- Monday 17 November to Wednesday 19 November – Church Lane, Bonningale
- Wednesday 19 November to Tuesday 25 November – Moreton View A53 to Stanton Upon Hine Heath
- Tuesday 25 November to Monday 1 December – Bank House junction A53 to Ebreywood
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.
