Emergency work to repair a gas leak on Gatley Road with junction of Kingsway, Cheadle
Advance warning of lane closure

Gas emergency service, Cadent will be carrying out a repair on one of its pipes in Gatley Road, Cheadle from Sunday 13 August for one week.

There will be a lane closure on Gatley Road with the junction of Kingsway. There will be no left turn onto Kingsway and you will not be able to cross Kingsway, if you are traveling towards Gatley Station (East to West) on the A560 Gatley Road.

A short diversion will be in place along Wilmslow Road, Schools Hill and Kingsway for the duration of the works.

Cadent Network Supervisor Trevor Hague said, "We have been working with local stakeholders to ensure the necessary work is carried out safely. Whilst a lane closure may not ideal, it will ensure that we can safely and quickly repair the pipe at this junction.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience as we complete this emergency work.”

Gas supplies will not be affected by this project.
