Mill Street Corridor, Crewe

The Mill Street Corridor scheme will provide an improved route for pedestrians and cyclists travelling between Crewe town centre and the railway station. Planning permission was granted in March 2024 (application reference 23/4105N).

Works to improve the Southern Gateway (phase one of the Mill Street Corridor scheme) began in 2024 and the council will now work with contractors to deliver phase 2a. 

This is a project that is being funded by the Government through its Future High Streets Fund, UK Shared Prosperity and Towns Fund programmes.

What is happening

The Mill Street Corridor Scheme is part of the plans to improve access to Crewe town centre.

A compound for contractors has been set up on the Railway Street car park and works to remove trees to allow delivery of the scheme are programmed to start on 17 February 2025. 

This phase of the project is expected to be completed by autumn 2025.

Included within the scheme is the planting of new trees and significant other greening along the route, although this will not be carried out until later in 2025.
