Crew Green Bridge is set to close for urgent repairs.
The bridge, which carries an unclassified road over the River Severn, will undergo work on the piers starting Monday, October 14, and lasting for ten days.
The repairs are necessary to maintain the bridge's current 7.5-tonne weight limit.
However, on Monday, October 21, and Tuesday, October 22, the bridge will be fully closed to vehicles between 9.30am and 4pm for specific tasks.

During this time, motorists will need to follow a signed diversion route.
Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will still be able to cross the bridge, and access to properties near the bridge will remain open until the closure.
Shropshire Council's term maintenance contractor, Kier, will carry out the work, with WSP overseeing it on behalf of the council.
Updates on the repairs, which may change due to weather or other issues, will be posted on one.network.
