Road closures

Featuring on both the BBC and ITV local news that Spennells Valley Road in Kidderminster is closed due to a "serious police incident" nothing in the Shuttle as you might expect.

[Update - from other sources apparently a body was found there last night] [Oh for crying out loud]

And just for fun Bert via Jim tells me that the Holt Fleet bridge is going to closed for 10 weeks. According to the report "Entire length of river bridge 7.5 tonne weight limit" from 27/4/09 to 15/9/10 which I'm hoping is either a misprint or that it's just going to be closed to anything over 7.5 tonnes.

Ah yes thank you Worcester News it is indeed a weight limit, confusing that it also suggests a full road closure for 10 weeks in June. So it's a weight limit and a closure that coincide? [Yes appears so the limit is for bridge work and the closure for Severn Trent Water work]

The article quite rightly points out that some advance notice signs would be helpful to prevent any 7.5+ vehicles starting off down that route, apparently they're in the process of going up. [And apparently have appeared near Ombersley now.]
