For those unfamiliar with the location, Exchange Close can be found in Macclesfield, near the city of Manchester. The road is a key route through the town, and drivers are urged to check for alternative routes and use traffic apps to plan their journeys.

The roadworks are scheduled to last for approximately 7 hours, and drivers are advised to check for updates on the expected duration of the disruption.
