Road Closure: VERNON ROAD — Manchester

Motorists in the Poynton area of Manchester are advised to plan their journeys carefully on 4 August 2026, as Vernon Road will be affected by roadworks from 07:00 to 17:00. The roadworks, which are being carried out by Cheshire East Council, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions, although the council has classified the reason for the works as minor. Drivers who regularly use Vernon Road should consider using alternative routes to avoid potential delays, and those who are unsure of the best route to take can check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for up-to-the-minute information.

Cheshire East Council has organised the roadworks as part of its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the local road network, and while the disruption is expected to be relatively short-lived, it is still important for drivers to be aware of the potential impact on their journeys. The council has not provided further details on the specific nature of the roadworks, but it is likely that the works will involve some form of maintenance or repair to the road surface. In any case, drivers should exercise caution when approaching the area and be prepared for potential delays.

To minimise the impact of the roadworks, drivers are advised to check for updates before setting out and to consider using alternative routes if possible. This is particularly important for commuters who rely on Vernon Road as part of their daily journey, as the roadworks may add significant time to their journey. By planning ahead and using traffic apps to stay informed, drivers can help to reduce the risk of delays and ensure a smoother journey.

In addition to using alternative routes, drivers can also help to reduce congestion in the area by avoiding the use of Vernon Road unless absolutely necessary. This will not only help to reduce the risk of delays but also help to ensure the safety of the roadworkers who will be carrying out the roadworks. Cheshire East Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, and by working together, drivers can help to minimise the disruption caused by the works.
