From Monday 19 August 2024 works will be taking place to resurface two sections of A574 Warrington Road, Culcheth, from the junction at Holcroft Lane to the Raven Bridge (adjacent to Hey Shoot Lane).

The road and its side roads will be closed, in phases, between 7:00pm and 1:00am for up to 8 weeks to undertake the works safely.

All roads will be fully open to traffic outside these times.

Phase 1 will be the section from Holcroft Lane to west of Churchill Avenue for 2 to 3 weeks, and Phase 2 will be the section from west of Eden Avenue to the Raven Bridge for 4 to 5 weeks.

Vehicular access will be under the control of the Contractor on site.

Vehicles parked on the road, verge or footway obstructing the works may be removed.

The signed diversion route will be via A580 East Lancs Road, Newton Road, Kenyon Lane, Wilton Lane, Broseley Lane, Common Lane and vice versa.

Information on bus diversions will be posted at stops ahead of the start of the scheme.

Residents/businesses needing access to closed sections of road should speak to the contractor as they will provide as much access as is safe to do so, however there will be times, for example when the road surface is being removed or relaid when there may be no access for several hours.

Cones, barriers and signs are there for a reason - to protect our workers from danger and to keep the public safe. We urge drivers to pay close attention to safety when driving near roadworks.
