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.
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.
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.

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.
As part of the Omega Phase 2B junction improvement scheme, United Utilities will be diverting apparatus on Lingley Green Avenue and Liverpool Road. The works are programmed to commence on Monday 11 May 2020 for two weeks, with temporary traffic signals utilised between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Please be assured that all work will be undertaken following current government guidance on COVID-19. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued on 14 April 2020 by the Construction Leadership Council will be applied to all activities where it can be appropriately implemented.

The junction of A57 Liverpool Road and Lingley Green Avenue currently experiences heavy peak hour traffic.
Our proposals include:
On 7 January 2019, we formally made The Warrington Borough Council (A57 Liverpool Road/Lingley Green Avenue – Junction Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2019 under Sections 239, 240, 246, 250 and 260 of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended) and Section 19 and Schedule 3 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981.
The order was submitted to the Secretary of State for Transport for confirmation on 17 January 2019 and, in exercise of his powers under the above acts, was confirmed with modifications by the Secretary of State for Transport on 18 June 2019. The Order authorises us to compulsorily purchase land and new rights for the purpose of:
A person aggrieved by the order may, by application to the High Court, challenge its validity under section 23 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981. The grounds for challenge can be that the authorisation granted by the order is not empowered to be granted or that there has been a failure to comply with any relevant statutory requirement relating to the order.
Construction of these improvements will begin in March 2020 and be complete in July 2020.
The cost of this scheme is £2.5m. The majority of this will be funded by the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership and the Department for Transport National Productivity Investment Fund, following the submission of successful funding bids.
On Friday 29 May we'll be commissioning the Toucan Crossing on Whittle Avenue northbound approach to the roundabout at Lingley Green Avenue. The two temporary pedestrian crossings installed while we upgraded the Toucan Crossing will be removed.
Once the Toucan Crossing completed, we'll remove the northbound closure on Whittle Avenue, and the road will reopen in both directions. There'll be some future traffic management on Whittle Avenue to complete this phase, but the road can remain open while we carry out those works.
From 9:30 am on Monday 1 June 2020, we'll start the next phase of the works, installing an eastbound closure on Lingley Green Avenue between Kingsdale Road and Whittle Avenue roundabout. Westbound traffic will still be able to use Lingley Green Avenue. This closure will enable us to carry out the carriageway widening section of Lingley Green Avenue and associated highway improvements. The completion of this phase due to be completed by the end of July 2020.
All work will be undertaken following current government guidance on COVID-19. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued on 18 May 2020 by the Construction Leadership Council will be applied to all activities where it can be appropriately implemented.
Please Note that for the first phase of the works, the No. 268 Great Sankey School Bus Service will have a short diversion away from this section of Whittle Avenue during morning hours, with normal service resuming in the afternoon. Details of how later phases of the works will affect this and other school services will be made available as Phase 1 nears completion.
As part of the planning process for the Omega development, improvements to the junction of Lingley Green Avenue and Whittle Avenue were secured.
The improvements include:
Construction of the improvements will start in January 2020 and finish in June 2020.
This project costs £2m, of which all funding has been received from the developer (OMEGA Warrington Ltd).
