Shropshire Surface Dressing Programme – Summer 2026
The B4555 - Woodhill Road and Bridgnorth Road, Highley is programmed for

The work is currently programmed to take place as follows: -

th June - Road Closure for White Lining
The road will have an initial sweep within 24 hours of the new surface being laid. The
sweeper returns after 7 days to remove any residual loose chippings.
How will this affect traffic?
Signs will be erected in the road before starting the work and the work will be
completed as quickly as possible. A signed diversion route will be in place as
per map below.
Will there be access to my property/business?
Yes, if you are looking to access a property or business, we will provide access for you.
We will have staff on site who are able to assist with access. Our priority is to keep you
and our staff safe, this means that there may be a bit of a wait while we make the site
safe for you to travel through the closure or direct you to another entry point.
During the work, access to the works area will be restricted to:
• Essential highway personnel
• Residents who live and reside within the road closure.
• Businesses located within the closure (if applicable)
• Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians.
• Emergency vehicles
• Utility or Public service vehicles when safe to do so
How can you help us?
Please ensure vehicles are not parked on the road during the day whilst the work is in
progress. Please be mindful that we can only provide access for properties/businesses
within the work area.
