Moss Lane, Leighton, from Parkers Road to A530 Middlewich Road, reopened on Monday 16 June.

The road, which closed on Monday 8 January, was targeted to reopen by June 2 at the earliest.

Traffic lights will remain at the junction of Moss Lane and Parkers Road until at least Wednesday 3 July (Ryan Parker).
