Following a significant road collapse on the A556 Shurlach Road in Lostock Gralam, there was an overnight full emergency road closure on Friday night (1 August) to install a temporary concrete barrier, with the central barrier being removed to enable excavation work. The works required a full closure (towards Chester) and a lane closure (eastbound towards Manchester) due to the size and complexities of the road collapse.

Road Closure from 4 August
The A556 will be closed between the A559 Manchester Road and the A530 King Street roundabout in a Westbound direction. The diversion will be via A559 Manchester Road, Northwich Town Centre and Kingsmead.
Works are programmed tostart on Monday (4 August),and it is expected that the road will need toremain closed for two weeks.

Councillor Louise Gittins, Leader of Cheshire West and Chester Council said:
"We appreciate that this closure will cause significant disruption to residents, businesses, and commuters. The closure period will be reviewed following the excavation to understand the scale of the issue."
