National coronavirus restrictions will remain in place until Wednesday 2 December
The government has published its COVID-19 Winter Plan, setting out how the national restrictions will be lifted on 2 December. More information can be viewed on the government's website.
Visit our coronavirus pages for more information about what the current national restrictions mean for Warrington.
Three-way temporary traffic signals will be in place between Warrington Bank Quay Station and Winmarleigh Street from Monday 23 November to Thursday 24 December. These will be in operation between 9:30 am to 3:30 pm as and when required, so we can complete traffic islands, signs, signals and carriageway works.
The footway on the south side of Wilson Patten Street will be closed until 7 December, with pedestrians diverted onto the opposite side of the road. You will be able to utilise the zebra crossing close to Bold Street and the puffin crossing outside Warrington Bank Quay Station.
Right turn vehicle movement into and out of Gainsborough Road remains restricted.
Slutchers Lane is now closed at the junction of Wilson Patten Street (until mid-December 2020). As a result, the access to Slutchers Lane for all businesses and properties along Slutchers Lane including the private service road and Bank Quay Trading Estate will be from Chester Road via the new bridge. Vehicles will be restricted from turning right out of Slutchers Lane onto Chester Road. Instead, they will be diverted via Brian Bevan Roundabout to return south down Chester Road.
Please refer to the plan below showing the proposed access route.
Temporary traffic signals will be in operation between the private service road and entrance to the station car park for safety and to maintain a temporary pedestrian walkway (as and when required).
Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and will be under the control of the Principal Contractor Balfour Beatty during the working hours.
Please note, these timescales are subject to change due to the nature of live construction projects and the evolving situation with regard to COVID-19.
At present, Balfour Beatty have determined that they are able to remain operational, in line with current guidance on COVID-19 from the UK Government, at Centre Park Link but they will only be undertaking activities where they are able to appropriately implement the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued on 20 October 2020 by the Construction Leadership Council.
