Station Road, Wrenbury

Drainage improvement and carriageway resurfacing scheme

We have replaced and upgraded the drainage system along Station Road, Wrenbury as well as resurfaced the road. The work took place between the junction of Station Road / Wrenbury Road and to a point where the road crosses the River Weaver.

We carried out surveys along this section of road which indicated that the existing drainage system can no longer accommodate the existing surface water run off. This has resulted in localised flooding and deterioration of the road and our work has provided essential improvements to the drainage system and road surface. We worked with Network Rail and the Environment Agency to deliver this scheme safely.

When and what is happening

Works to deliver these drainage and road improvements started on 3 June 2024, and are now complete. The duration of the works was to allow for phasing to help facilitate access to businesses and residents. It was a complex drainage scheme, with an estimated cost for all of the works including the resurfacing of around £1 million. Due to the extensive works that were required, the scheme took around 15 weeks to complete.

The following works took place:

• Installation of a new drainage system, including new surface water pipes, road gullies and manholes
• Installation of a new outfall and headwall at the River Weaver
• Road resurfacing and improvement works
• Reinstatement of road markings
• Kerbing, signage, fencing, hedge replanting, soil and seeding.
