13,000 vehicles are expected to be on the roads of Shropshire this Sunday as people flock to the Cosford Air Show.
Drivers are being advised to allow extra time for journeys this Sunday (9 June) as the Cosford Air Show takes to the skies of Shropshire.
With reduced capacity on the rail network, National Highways is estimating tens of thousands of people to travel to the event via car and estimates around 13,000 vehicles on the roads.
To ease congestion on the way into the venue, there will be special traffic measures in place at junction 3 of the M54. Road users are advised to pay close attention to the event signage to make sure they get in the correct lanes.
Car parks open at 7am and routes are expected to be busy between 7am and 1pm and again between 5pm and 8pm. The event has sold out and those without tickets are advised not to travel to the venue as they will be turned away.
The Cosford Air Show takes place on Sunday 9 June and provides demonstrations of modern military air craft from the Royal Air Force and international military partners.
