Newcastle Rd Closed

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as Newcastle Road in Arclid will be subject to roadworks, causing a medium-severity disruption to traffic. The roadworks are scheduled to take place from 08:30 on August 15, 2026, and are expected to be completed by 14:30 on the same day.

Newcastle Road, located just outside Stoke, will be closed to facilitate the necessary works, which have been deemed minor by Cheshire East Council, the highway authority managing the project. During this time, drivers are urged to explore alternative routes in order to avoid the affected area and potential congestion. This can be achieved by utilising online traffic apps or consulting a reliable source of traffic information to plan the most efficient route.

The roadworks are not expected to cause significant disruptions to the local community, with the works confined to a relatively short duration. However, drivers travelling through the area are advised to exercise caution and patience, as congestion may build up in the vicinity of the roadworks. It is essential to check for updates on traffic conditions before embarking on a journey through the affected area.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling, if possible. If a journey through the affected area is unavoidable, drivers are urged to remain alert and to follow the instructions of any traffic marshals or signs in place.

It is worth noting that the roadworks are part of a planned maintenance programme by Cheshire East Council to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of the local road network. While the works are scheduled to take place during a relatively short period, drivers are advised to remain vigilant and to plan their journeys accordingly.
