A three-week public consultation began today to update people about plans for the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road, and to ask them for their current views.
You can view the updated proposals for the road and submit comments on the Shropshire Council website, at shropshire.gov.uk/get-involved.
Shropshire Council is on target to deliver a refreshed outline business case for the road to the Department for Transport (DfT) by 22 December this year.
Responses from the consultation will be collated and submitted as part of the business case refresh.
The last NWRR consultation was held in 2010. Since then Shropshire Council has been able to secure the delivery of the Oxon Link Road, formerly part of the north west relief road. This will connect Churncote Roundabout on the A5 bypass with the Holyhead Road near the Shelton Water tower and facilitate delivery of the Shrewsbury West Sustainable Urban Extension development, north of the Welshpool Road.
An animated fly-over video has been produced to show the proposed route of the road
