Latest news
On 13 January 2020, we'll be starting junction improvements at Whittle Avenue / Lingley Green Avenue. This scheme will be completed in June 2020.
The scheme will be split into four phases:
First phase
Work will be undertaken on Whittle Avenue northbound on the approach to the roundabout. To carry out this work, we'll be installing a 24/7 northbound closure on Whittle Avenue between Boston Boulevard / Kingsdale Road roundabout and Lingley Green Avenue for approximately 5 - 7 weeks. Southbound traffic will be unaffected until we start the surfacing element of the scheme. When it comes to the surfacing works, we'll be installing a full-time closure between 9.30 am - 3.30 pm with full diversion routes in place for approximately one week. We'll regularly notify you over every aspect of the scheduled work.
Second phase
Work will be undertaken on Whittle Avenue southbound on the approach to the roundabout. To carry out this work, we'll be installing a 24/7 southbound closure on Whittle Avenue between Burtonwood Road roundabout and Malvern Close for approximately 5 – 7 weeks. Northbound traffic will be unaffected until we start the surfacing element of the scheme. When it comes to the surfacing works, we'll be installing a full-time closure between 9.30 am - 3.30 pm with full diversion routes in place for approximately one week.
Third phase
Work will be undertaken on Lingley Green Avenue eastbound on the approach to the roundabout. To carry out this work, we'll be installing a 24/7 eastbound closure on Lingley Green Avenue between Sophia Drive roundabout and Whittle Ave for approximately 7 – 8 weeks. Westbound traffic will be unaffected until we start the surfacing element of the scheme. When it comes to the surfacing works, we'll be installing a full-time closure between 9.30 am - 3.30 pm with full diversion routes in place for approximately one week.
The fourth and final phase
This will include resurfacing works on the roundabout where there will be multi-way traffic signals in operation to carry out this phase for approximately one week. Malvern Close will remain open at all times. We'll regularly notify you over every aspect of this scheduled work.
As with any planned schedule, certain aspects may be subject to change. We'll communicate any amendments to phasing via our website and the West Warrington Highways email database.

The scheme
We're proposing several junction improvements, including walking and cycling improvements, within the west Warrington area to support the development of the Omega and Lingley Mere development sites.
The vast majority of the funding for these improvements will come from developers, Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership Local Growth Fund and the Department for Transports National Productivity Investment Fund. You can view the proposals below.
If you require additional information or would like to be added to the email mailing list to receive consultation and traffic management updates, get in touch at wwh@warrington.gov.uk.
