The next phase of a major link road near Warrington is set to start, with work expected to be completed by late spring next year. The new route in Newton-le-Willows forms part of the ambitious Parkside development, which will be bringing jobs and investment to the area.
The link road will connect the derelict Parkside site – a former colliery – to J22 of the M6 motorway, taking goods traffic away from nearby roads such as the A49, deisgned to reduce the impact on residential roads and improve the local environment. Since the project started in January 2022, work has already been completed on sections of carriageway, footway, drainage, and street lighting from Winwick Lane through to Parkside Road and Parkside Road heading west towards the A49 Winwick Road.
Drivers have been warned that a series of temporary traffic light signals will be in place on the A49 Winwick Road over the next few months, starting tomorrow, Wednesday, July 12. This will run until November and may impact journey times.
