The A5112 is a road in Shropshire, England that runs north–south through the town of Shrewsbury. It runs around the town centre, to the east, and acts as a quicker route through the town than going via the town centre.
The road has a speed limit of 50mph between Meole Brace Island and the Telford Way Roundabout with a 40mph speed limit between the Bayston Hill Roundabout and Meole Brace Island, and between the Telford Way Roundabout and the Heathgates Roundabout, and a 30mph speed limit for the remainder of the route. The road crosses the River Severn on Telford Way Bridge and is a safe route during flooding of the river.
The road was for a short time in the late 1980s and early 1990s the A49, which now runs around a bypass of the town.
