More than 50 stretches of road across Shropshire are being treated as part of Shropshire Council’s annual surface dressing programme – work that will play a key role in the council’s drive to improve the county’s roads.
Surface dressing is a quick, efficient and cost-effective way of preventing potholes, maintaining skid-resistance and waterproofing road surfaces.
It forms a major part of the council’s annual road maintenance programme and is being carried out alongside other preventative and reactive maintenance work.
The 2021 surface dressing season began on 9 June with work being carried out until August.
The 52 sites identified for treatment (listed below, and in greater detail on the council’s website) are located across the county and include all types of road, from urban cul-de-sacs to major ‘A’ and ‘B’ roads.
The work covers approximately 819,000 square metres of road.
Roads treated so far include the B5068 Ifton Heath To Cross Lanes, Dudleston Heath; Birch Road, Tetchill; Deermoss, Whitchurch, and Church Street, Hodnet.
