Cheshire East Council is responsible for the closure, installing a new cycle crossing as part of The Southern Gateway Scheme.

This scheme started in June, improving the route for pedestrians and cyclists from the south of Crewe into the town centre from High Street to the Lifestyle Centre.

The works also aim to improve the link from Mill Street/Oak Street/Vernon Way to Forge Street. 

A number of roads will be closed in phases for the development, which is due for completion in early 2025.

Vernon Way is expected to reopen again on the morning of Monday 19 August (Nub News).

This is a project being funded by the Government's Future High Streets Fund programme.
