PostHeaderIcon Safety fear closes Bolas Bridge

Telford & Wrekin Council has been forced to close a minor road which straddles the boundary with Shropshire Council after a routine inspection found a bridge had become unsafe due to erosion of the river bed.

The unclassified road between Great Bolas and Little Bolas will be shut for a number of weeks while temporary safety measures are put in place to bolster the bridge.

It is expected the first phase of work to get the road re-opened may cost up to £30,000 with a more long-term solution likely to be as much as £100,000.
