Telford Road Collapses: Void Opens Under Legges Way

An emergency road closure has been implemented on Legges Way in Madeley, Telford. The closure is a direct result of a void that has formed beneath the road surface. Councillor Carolyn Healy confirmed the closure, noting that it has created a situation with no through route. The proximity of the void to Blists Hill Victorian Town has raised concerns for visitors. However, Ironbridge Gorge National Trust has assured the public that the attraction is operating as usual. Diversion signs are in place to guide visitors, who will need to approach Blists Hill from the Madeley direction. Access to the attraction is being managed to mitigate the impact of the road closure.
