Stretch of A41 to close for surface repairs

Part of a main route through Shropshire is to close for repairs and maintenance work this month.

The A41 at Tern Hill would shut between 4 and 7 July for surface dressing, and between 17 and 22 July for repainting, Shropshire Council said.

The Bletchley dual carriageway stretch will also close between 8 and 9 July for surfacing work, and 23 and 25 July for repainting.

Diversions are in place for drivers.

The work was a preventative programme and should stop potholes forming in winter, the authority said.
