The A442 between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster will be closed overnight from tonight for three weeks while essential rock scouring works is carried out through the cutting near Dudmaston Hall. The work will involve tree trimming and the removal of loose sections of the rock face which has become unstable with large pieces of soft sandstone regularly shed on to the road. While the work is carried out the road will close at 7pm and re-open in the mornings at 6am, and temporary lights will be in use during the day. The road will be re-opened to through traffic over the Easter weekend. Shropshire Council is using the road closure as an opportunity to carry out a significant amount of other improvement work in the area: These works include: • Approximately 2.5km of carriageway resurfacing from the Bridgnorth Roundabout towards Kidderminster. • The installation of a new footpath and street lighting scheme adjacent to The Danery Public House. • Road sign cleaning. Simon Jones, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport:

Of course you should cancel. BTW the article is dated 20 March 2016 "The A442 between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster will be closed overnight from tonight for three weeks"

You must be worried that they have overrun!

Well spotted that bloke! BUT they do have roadside boards all along the road at the moment advising of closure AND the Danery are aware that this stab in the back after Covid is in place.
 
A442 Road Closures. Danery meet is ON!

Finally got to the bottom of the signs issue, Road Closures are advertised along the A442 advising that Roads may be closed due to resurfacing works between 27th May until 9 June, the main area being Shatterford. Also the road may be worked on during the hours 1700 until 0600 between 10th June and 21st. The mistake I made was thinking this was Shropshires Highways but turns out it Worcestershire Highways responsibility. Anyone coming up from Kidderminster may have difficulty with lights and the dreaded gravel chippings! This is only one of many differing signs with conflicting Info and the American style of date display!

Danery Meet. 7-00pm

Try and get to the Danery for 7-00 so the chef can get things organised if you are dining.
 
Good to see everyone this evening and so good to be doing something approaching normal again.
 
Excellent turn out.

Thanks for the support last night, I swear I will attend on a bike again one day! Worth the effort.
