Part of Longden Road, Mousecroft Lane and Stanley Lane, Shrewsbury will be closed overnight from Monday 10 to Wednesday 19 August [2026], for the installation of a new pedestrian crossing.
The work will be carried out from 8pm to 6am each weeknight.
During the work the junction of Bank Farm Road will also be resurfaced.
The new crossing is being funded using Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) developer funding.
During the closures access to the work areas will be maintained for the following:
-
- Residents living within the closure, when safe to do so.
- Any businesses located within the closure, when safe.
- Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians
- Emergency vehicles (blue light calls)
For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.
People are asked to ensure vehicles are not parked on the road whilst the work is in progress.
Work will be carried out by Kier Infrastructure on behalf of Shropshire Council.
