A Shropshire relief road talked about for decades is due to be recommended for cancellation as unaffordable, despite more than £30m already spent.
A report on the North West Relief Road (NWRR) in Shrewsbury will be presented to a full meeting of Shropshire Council, which will consider the plan on Wednesday.
The authority said the report referred only to the part-funded Department for Transport (DfT) section, from Holyhead Road to Battlefield. Work on the road stopped in June 2025, after the government said there would be no further funding.
It led the council to deem the road unaffordable. The DfT is yet to decide whether the council will have to pay back the £32m already spent on the project.
