The five kilometre (3 miles) route runs to the west of Alderley Edge, starting at Harden Park roundabout and rejoins the existing A34 to the south of Nether Alderley village (a plan of the route that the new bypass will take can be viewed by using the link below). Birse Civils have been appointed as the Contractor for the main civil engineering works, they will begin work on site in January 2009 and will take approximately two years to complete the bypass.
Letters will soon be distributed to local residents and businesses informing them about the scheme. Throughout the schemes duration, newsletters and information will be regularly distributed. This webpage will be regularly updated with photographs showing progress on site as well as copies of all the distributed material.
