Mill House Bridge A523, Adlington

A523 Mill House Bridge, between Adlington and Macclesfield

Following a bridge inspection on Mill House Bridge, Adlington, essential work is required to repair a collapsed section of the bridge.

Emergency temporary traffic signals are in place between the London Road junction and Hole House Lane due to a partially collapsed bridge footing.

What work is happening

Investigations are underway and works to repair the bridge. Due to the nature and location of the failure, the programme to fully reopen the road may take 6 months. The repairs are a priority and further details of works will be posted here as soon as they are known.

When the work is happening

The temporary traffic lights will remain in place whilst we work with third parties to investigate the cause of the collapse and to allow us to safely undertake repairs. The traffic lights provide relief from the traffic loads over the collapsed section of the bridge and as a result, there will not be any operatives working actually in the lane closure. 

Further information

• The temporary lights are necessary to protect the safety of both members of the public and our workforce whilst we investigate to cause of the collapse.
• Pedestrian access is unaffected.
• Cyclist access will be maintained through the traffic lights.
• Local businesses remain unaffected.
