Earlier today, acting in my capacity as Chair of Cheshire East Council's Highways & Transport Committee, I took the opportunity to inspect repairs that are currently being carried out on Congleton Road, Nether Alderley. The Level 2 patching works, which began yesterday and are due to be completed tomorrow, were due to be carried out during the fourth quarter of 2022/23, but have been brought forward.
The additional £7m investment we are making as a Council this year has enabled these much overdue works to be carried out earlier than was originally programmed. A section of Congleton Road, from the junction with Whitebarn Road in Alderley Edge, to the junction with Church Lane in Nether Alderley, is benefitting from carriageway patching works at a cost of approximately £100,000.
The Site Manager explained to me that the contractor, Eurovia, are planing off, removing and relaying approximately 100 tonnes of tarmac during each of the three days over which the works are being completed. The intention is to carry out Level 2 carriageway patching during the current financial year and then to follow this up with Level 3 surface dressing, next year.
Level 3 surface dressing was recently applied to Macclesfield Road in Alderley Edge and the intention is for the same treatment to be applied to Congleton Road (from the de Trafford Arms in Alderley Edge, to the junction with Melrose Way in Nether Alderley) during the 2023/24 financial year. Unfortunately, due to cost pressures, it is not possible to carry out both jobs in the same financial year.
