More roadworks

There's never an easy way to deliver bad news, so I think I'll just post the message I've been sent:

This message is an update for the ongoing Gas Main Renewal works by Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions on behalf of the Gas Alliance in Macclesfield. Traffic lights have been in operation on Chester Road between Chestergate and Oxford Road. This stage of the works is coming to an end and it is expected that these works will be closed down over the next week and that work will start under two-way traffic signal control on Chester Road moving from Broken Cross towards the town centre. These signals will be manually controlled throughout the peak times and monitored throughout but will obviously cause significant delays.

There will also be three-way traffic signals on Kendal Road at it's junction with Kenilworth Road for approximately two weeks from Wednesday 1st July. Once this work is completed, the three-way signals will move down to the junction of Kendal Road with Ivy Lane/Ivy Road, again for an anticipated duration of approximately two weeks.

Meetings have been held with the Gas Alliance regarding where works should be carried out during the main summer school holiday period and the main routes that are expected to be affected during these times will be Park Lane (gas renewal works in the immediate vicinity of the school/college were carried out during the restrictions last summer), Ryles Park Road, Manchester Road in the vicinity of Tytherington School, Fence Avenue, Ivy Road and Oxford Road. These works will be co-ordinated as far as possible to avoid roadworks on neighbouring roads that may act as relief roads during the works. I will advise further once these works are more specifically programmed.
