A MAJOR Northwich road will be closed for 13 weeks from Monday.

Winnington Avenue is to undergo main sewer renewal work as part of the Winnington Urban Village development.

It will be closed between its junction with Winnington Lane and its junction with Burrows Hill.

The work on the main sewer has been co-ordinated with the housing consortium, on behalf of the scheme's four developers, to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.

Cheshire West and Chester Council has also arranged for planned highways works to be carried out at the same time to fully utilise the road closure.

A signed diversion will be in place via Northwich Road, Beech Road, Chester Road and Moss Road.
