Daytime closures will be in place on the Middlewich Road near Leighton Hospital again early in the New Year.
Cheshire East says the closure is needed so work can be completed on the North West Crewe Package.
The closures will happen between January 8 and February 9, from the entrance of the hospital to the Eardswick Junction.
Cllr Craig Browne, chair of Cheshire East’s highways committee, said all works on North West Crewe Package scheme were due to be completed in May 2024.
He was responding to a question from Crewe councillor Clair Chapman (Lab), who asked for an update and said the roadworks had had quite a big impact on the local area.
Cllr Browne (Alderley Edge, Ind) said: “Early in the new year, there will be some daytime closures of the A530 Middlewich Road from the entrance of the hospital to the Eardswick Junction and these will apply from Monday, January 8, through to Friday, February 9.
“The daytime closures at the A530 are needed in order to install the permanent road signage, to plant the landscaping, to install the boundary fences and to carry out remedial works to bring the junction up to the council’s required standards.”
The closures will apply from 9.30am to 3.30pm and will not be in place at weekends.
Cllr Browne said the construction site will be closed from Friday, December 22, at 4pm until Monday, January 8, and all traffic management that relates to the scheme will be removed over that Christmas period.
The scheme aims to ease congestion around North West Crewe and improve access to Leighton Hospital, bringing opportunities for local businesses to expand, as well as new and existing housing developments.
It includes the construction of a new 2.6km single carriageway road and seven new roundabouts as well as the realignment of Smithy Lane, Flowers Lane and existing junction improvements on the A530 Middlewich Road and Minshull New Road.
Craig Browne won’t be bothered he is leaving Cheshire East in the New Year. All Cheshire East are doing is moaning about HS2 being cancelled, the question they want to ask themselves what has Crewe got to offer the visitors the answer is Nothing. They campaigned for Crewe to become the Railway Headquarters of the country, after destroying all of Crewe’s railway heritage. Crewe could have had and should have had the best railway museum in the country. The steam rail tours that operate through the year how many stop at Crewe, the answer None. Simple reason they stop at places like Chester and Shrewsbury where the passengers can disembark and walk around the town or the city and look at the history. If Crewe Works and become a museum it would have generated a lot money for the town, you only have to look at the Open Days that took place in the past on You Tube, the crowds of people that came.
Craig browne not bothered how long this take as he lives in Alderley Edge and its not a concern to him he should be asking Balfour Beatty “why is it taking so long”
So that will be 3 months then.
