MACCLESFIELD ROAD TO CLOSE FOR REPAIR WORKS

As I reported recently, a number of our local roads have been included in the carriageway repair programme for 2022/23. This follows a decision by Cheshire East Council to invest an additional £19m in the capital repairs programme over the next three years. Last week, level 2 patching repairs were carried out on Stevens Street and Eaton Drive.

I have now received notification that repairs will be carried out on Macclesfield Road, during the period from Wednesday 25th May to Tuesday 31st May (not including the weekend). This will involve Level 2 patching repairs from the junction with Woodbrook Road, to the junction with Birtles Lane (Over Alderley), followed by surface dressing.

Unfortunately, during this period there will be a full road closure in place, from the junction with Congleton Road, to the junction with Birtles Lane. Residential access will be retained wherever possible, although there will be some disruption whilst the works are carried out. The official diversion route will take drivers along Congleton Road to Monks Heath.

As a reminder to residents, Congleton Road, from the de Trafford Arms to the junction with Melrose Way in Nether Alderley, is also included in this year's capital programme and works will be carried out later in the year. On behalf of Cheshire East Highways, I would like to thank residents for their patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
