During the school holiday week (24rd to 27th October) Woodford Road in Poynton will be closed again. On the Monday (23rd) there will be temporary traffic lights.  The work is to “complete the jointing on the new bridge”. During the closure there will be signs again at the junction with Chester Road and Dean Lane.

“The new road is welcome but the closures really inconvenience people. Hopefully this really will be the last closure of Woodford Road before the road to the airport opens next Spring” said Cllr Jon Twigge.

Full details from the council below:

• Monday 23rd October:  Temporary traffic signals operating off peak from 9.30am to 3.30pm. Located from just south of Dog Hill Green Farm for a 200m stretch south;
• Tuesday 24th to Thursday 26th October: Full road closure will be installed and operational by the traffic management crew during the early hours of the morning on Tuesday 24th and will be operating 24 hours a day before being taken off in the early hours of the morning on Thursday 26th October. The closure zone will remain as previously, from just north of Lower Park Road to just north of the access to Birch Hall Kennels.

It will not be possible to provide a pedestrian route through the road closure as works will be
taking place next to the new footpath, however, pedestrian access will be maintained when
the temporary signals are operating.
