Unknown Road Road Closure — Warrington

Motorists in the Chorley area are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Moor Road will be affected by roadworks on 28 July 2026. The works, which are scheduled to take place between 07:00 and 17:00, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the region. Lancashire County Council, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of the road, has announced that the works are of a minor nature, but may still cause significant delays for drivers.

The roadworks on Moor Road are likely to impact commuters and residents in the surrounding areas, including those travelling to and from Warrington, the nearest city. Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider using alternative routes to avoid the disruption. With the works taking place during the daytime, motorists are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates on traffic conditions before setting out. This will help them to plan their route and avoid any potential congestion hotspots.

Lancashire County Council has not provided detailed information on the specific nature of the roadworks, but it is likely that the works are part of the council's ongoing maintenance programme to ensure the road network in the area remains safe and well-maintained. The council's efforts to maintain the roads in the region are crucial to supporting the local economy and facilitating the smooth flow of traffic.

To minimise delays, drivers are recommended to use alternative routes, such as the M6 or M61 motorways, which may add a few minutes to their journey time but are likely to be less congested than Moor Road. Additionally, drivers can use traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, to get real-time updates on traffic conditions and plan their route accordingly. By taking a few simple precautions, motorists can help to reduce the impact of the roadworks and ensure a safe and efficient journey.

The roadworks on Moor Road are expected to be completed by 17:00 on 28 July 2026, and the road will be fully reopened to traffic.
