A fallen tree is currently blocking navigation at the south end of Shrewley Tunnel. The obstruction is too large for the local team to clear safely, so our contractors have been requested to attend. Please note that our teams are responding to multiple fallen trees as a result of Storm Claudia. We are prioritising safety and addressing these issues as quickly as resources allow. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the affected route. An update will be issued once navigation can safely resume.
