A busy route in and out of Nantwich will be closed for a further three weeks due to delays to a United Utilities sewer scheme.
Wellington Road was due to re-open on September 10 after an eight-week closure for major drainage works.
It has been shut between Station Road and Parkfield Drive to allow United Utilities to carry out a major sewer work programme to tackle flooding problems along the B5341.
But now Cheshire East Highways says the scheme completion has been delayed until September 30 “due to unforeseen circumstances”.
traffic has been diverted throughout the school summer holidays via Peter de Stapleigh Way, Elwood Way and London Road.
The sewer works also run across large parts of Brookfield Park, allotments and down to Shrewbridge Road.
Workers have fenced off the park and an access road has been built, and heavy equipment stored on site.
The company was given the go ahead to carry out the works during the school summer holidays to minimise traffic disruption.
A United Utilities spokeswoman said 17 homes will be taken off the flooding National Risk Register as a result of the work, due to be completed by early September.
