Drivers have been hit with long delays on the first week of the new school year
Bosses at the gas network Cadent have apologised as an emergency road closure continues to cause traffic chaos in part of Stockport.
Cadent warned it would cause 'significant travel issues in the area.' Regular bus routes are unaffected but school services may be diverted and both are likely to be subject to delays, Transport for Greater Manchester said. Trevor Lubbock, Customer Operations Area Manager for Cadent, said engineers are making 'good progress' and hope to be able to partially re-open the road 'within days' though warned temporary traffic lights would still be needed.
“This meant the one lane we’d been able to keep open – allowing traffic to flow both ways, under traffic lights – could no longer be kept open.
