A537 Chelford Road, Nether Alderley - damage to bridge

Following a road traffic collision the bridge parapet on the A537 Chelford Road has been damaged.

What is happening

We have installed temporary concrete barriers on the bridge, which have reduced the width of the carriageway to a single lane.  To manage traffic safely, temporary traffic signals have been installed and will remain in place until repairs can be carried out.

We expect new sandstone blocks to be delivered by the end of August 2026, when repairs will begin.

Further information

• Emergency access will be maintained.
• Delays are possible and motorists should plan journeys accordingly.
• Local businesses will remain open. 
• Pedestrians must follow the on-site instructions
