Network Rail upgrade work at Shrewsbury Station

ongoing

Work to upgrade Shrewsbury Station continues with repairs and the renewal of station canopies almost complete and work progressing on the refurbishment of Dana footbridge. Network Rail teams have been carrying out essential repairs to the station canopies over platforms 4, 5, 6 and 7 and this work is due to be completed later this month. Work to refurbish and strengthen Dana footbridge, which began in December 2018, also continues. Engineers uncovered extensive steel work repairs that were required to strengthen the footbridge as well as brick and timber repairs and replacements on the structure. The windows on the footbridge are also being replaced and the deck walkway is being renewed with an anti-slip surface. The structure will be deep cleaned, surfaces grit blasted and re-painted, ensuring that the appearance of the footbridge is improved. Work is expected to be complete on the listed footbridge by November 2019.
