Mill House Bridge A523, Adlington

A523 Mill House Bridge, between Adlington and Macclesfield

Following a bridge inspection on Mill House Bridge, Adlington, we need to undertake comprehensive repairs to a collapsed section of the arch that provided support to the southbound traffic lane.

Emergency temporary traffic signals will remain in place between the London Road junction and Hole House Lane until the bridge has been reconstructed and strengthened.

When the work is happening

Work started on 17 June 2025 and will take approximately 16 weeks to complete. Our operatives will be working below the bridge and may not be visible.

Two-way temporary traffic signals will remain in place for the duration of the works.

We appreciate the significance of this key part of the borough's road network, and we've committed full resources to ensure the work is finished as quickly as possible.

Further information

• The temporary lights are necessary to protect the safety of both members of the public and our workforce
• Further delays are to be expected while plant and materials are brought into site as the traffic will have to be held.
• Pedestrian access is unaffected.
• Cyclist access will be maintained through the traffic lights.
• Local businesses remain unaffected.
