Macclesfield: Chelford Rd closed

Chelford Road in Macclesfield will be closed to traffic from 10 August 2026 at 23:00 until 12 August 2026 at 23:00 due to ongoing roadworks. The location of the disruption is on Chelford Road, Macclesfield, with the nearest major city being Manchester. The highway authority responsible for managing this project is Cheshire East Council.

The road closure is expected to cause some disruption to traffic in the area, with drivers advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any potential delays. Motorists are being encouraged to use alternative routes where possible, and to check their traffic apps for up-to-date information on traffic conditions before setting out. This will help to minimize the impact of the roadworks on local traffic.

The reason for the road closure is to complete some minor maintenance work on Chelford Road, which is expected to take around 48 hours to complete. Unfortunately, this means that the road will be closed to all traffic during this time, and drivers will need to find alternative routes to get around the area.

For those who rely on Chelford Road for their daily commute, it's worth noting that the road works are scheduled to take place overnight, with the road reopening by 23:00 on 12 August 2026. However, drivers should still expect some disruption to traffic during the morning and evening rush hours, and may need to leave earlier to get to their destinations on time.

Motorists are being advised to check their traffic apps regularly for up-to-date information on traffic conditions, and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any potential delays. This will help to minimize the impact of the roadworks on local traffic and ensure that drivers can get to their destinations safely and efficiently.
