The North West Crewe Package highways and infrastructure scheme in Crewe is in the final stages of works, with completion scheduled for July.
In the immediate term, the new road called Bob Brown Way will open to traffic between Milehouse Roundabout on the A530 and the new hospital roundabout tomorrow (Saturday 4 May).
This will form the new access to Leighton Hospital. There will be a closure on Smithy Lane between the A530 Middlewich Road and the accident and emergency entrance to Leighton Hospital from Tuesday 7 May to Friday 17 May. At this time, accident and emergency access will be from the newly-constructed Bob Brown Way.
Smithy Lane – between the A530 Middlewich Road and Leighton Hospital – and Bob Brown Way between Fairfield Roundabout and the hospital roundabout will be opened to traffic on Friday 17 May.
Both temporary and permanent signage is in place to direct people to the hospital depending on which direction they are travelling from.
