A major road by Leighton Hospital in Crewe has reopened after more than four weeks, allowing gas and water connection works to be completed.

Flowers Lane, between Gordon Geddes Way and Bradfield Road, reopened to motorists on Friday 19 July.

The road, which was recently altered for the new North West Crewe Package (NWCP) development, was targeted to be opened sooner, but this never materialised.

PN Daly carried out the maintenance works for the one-way closure, laying gas and water mains for new housing development (Ryan Parker).

These maintenance works caused significant traffic disruption in the Leighton area.

Congestion was eased when Cheshire East Council opened the new Tottys Hall Way this July, connecting Minshull New Road with the A530 Middlewich Road and Bob Brown Way (through to Leighton Hospital).
