Victoria Road Service Road, Chester closed

Motorists are advised to plan ahead as Victoria Road Service Road in Chester is set to be closed overnight due to minor roadworks. The service road will be shut from 11.10pm on 15 August 2026 until 5am on 16 August 2026, causing disruption to commuters. The nearest city affected by the closure is Liverpool. Cheshire West and Chester Council is overseeing the works.

The closure is in place to enable maintenance crews to undertake repairs, and drivers are urged to consider alternative routes to avoid any potential delays. Motorists are advised to check their GPS or traffic apps for the latest updates on the roadworks and to plan their journey accordingly.

Those travelling in the area are encouraged to exercise caution and patience during this time. While the closure is minor in severity, it is expected to cause some disruption to traffic flow, and drivers should allow extra time for their journeys.

The work is scheduled to take place overnight between 11.10pm and 5am, which should minimise the impact on daytime traffic. However, drivers should be aware of the potential for congestion in the surrounding area, particularly during peak morning rush hour.

If you are planning to travel in the area, it is essential to stay informed about the latest traffic updates. Motorists can check real-time traffic information through apps such as Waze or Google Maps, or by listening to local traffic updates on the radio.
