Highways Agency resurfacing the northbound A483 at Pant, Shropshire – and strengthening an existing embankment
On Monday 1st March, the Highways Agency is planning to commence works on the northbound A483, near Pant, to resurface the road and footpaths to improve safety.
Additional work to reconstruct the embankment near the crossing by the School Lane junction will also be carried out. The embankment is in need of work to ensure its continued integrity and prevent materials from falling onto the narrow footpath which will be widened in the scheme to improve safety and access for pedestrians.
Scheduled improvements to the road, markings, drains and embankment are expected to take nine weeks to complete.
Temporary traffic lights will be used to control traffic flow when necessary and working hours will be 06.00 to 20.00 hrs. A full closure of the road will be required over three to four nights during the work but a diversion route will be clearly signposted.
Highways Agency Project Manager, John Steel, said:
“As we are resurfacing the road, the opportunity is being taken to redesign part of the embankment. The scheme will benefit pedestrians and road users alike. In the best interests of the environment, and to limit the number of heavy vehicles visiting the site, recycled materials will be used wherever possible.”
