A51 Nantwich Bypass, Peacock Roundabout highway improvement works

We will be carrying out highway improvements works at Peacock Roundabout to improve road safety.

What is happening

The Phase 1 works, which included the installation of a new Toucan crossing, upgrades to the street lighting, improvements to the cycleway, a reduction in the speed limit and resurfacing works are now complete.

Phase 2 works will begin shortly, we will provide further updates when available.

We do understand that there is no right time to work in such a key location and this scheme has been carefully planned to minimise disruption.

Road closures and diversions

Under current Health and Safety legislation and for the safety of our workforce and members of the public, it will be necessary for a road closure to be in place during these works.

Whilst the works are being completed suitable diversion routes will be in place.

Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained at all times, cyclists may be asked to dismount through the roadworks.

Bus services will continue , but there may be some impact to the service. Check their website for more information including timetable changes.

Waste collection services will not be affected.

Emergency services know about the works and will have access.

You can view diversion routes and roadworks on our Roadworks Map. Drivers using the A530 Baddington Lane diversion will need to follow the Peacock Roundabout diversion to rejoin the Baddington Lane route beyond the works.
