Booths Bridge, Cheadle Lane, Plumley

Booths Bridge, Cheadle Lane, Plumley (location shown on the map below) was demolished to prevent it from collapsing into the main river.

We have now started works to construct the replacement bridge.

What is happening

Works to construct the new bridge are currently underway and are scheduled to be completed by late Spring 2026.

The works will include the following:

• Sinking of piles to support the bridge structure
• Installation of beam bridge deck
• Construction of bridge parapet, using materials reclaimed from the demolished bridge
• Resurfacing of the road surface

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 the road closure to be in place from the junction with Trouthall Lane and Patmos Lane.

The diversion route will remain in place until the works have been completed.

Pedestrians and cyclists will need to follow the signed diversion route.

You can view roadworks and diversion routes on our roadworks page.

Further information

• The road closure is necessary to protect the safety of both members of the public and our workforce.
• Diversion routes will be signed to assist in the movement of traffic while works progress.
• Local businesses remain open and access will be facilitated via the diversion route.
• On site personnel will be on hand to provide help and advice to members of the public for the duration of the scheme.
