Part of the A538 Altrincham Road will be closed on Saturday 16th August, Sunday 17th August, Saturday 30th August, Sunday 31st August, Saturday 6th September and Sunday 7th September. The Bank Holiday weekend will not be affected.
The 1.5km stretch from Hall Road to 50m past Mobberley Road will be closed for resurfacing works from 6pm to 11pm on Saturdays and 8am to 5pm on Sundays, but the road will be fully open outside of these times.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and access for emergency vehicles and residents will be maintained where possible.
This article was updated at 5pm on Friday 15th August as Cheshire East Council announced the road would be closed between 6pm and 11pm on Saturdays, rather than 8am to 5pm as previously announced.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Looks like the Styal route will be busy over the weekend.
I had a very irate driver verbally abuse me (four letter words aplenty) as he turned into his workplace at Waters today. He had apparently been held up by the roadworks and was in quite a hurry to get to work. He swung his car across me so I couldn't move ahead and jumped out to hurl his anger at me through the open car window.
Assuming he could act on the road as he pleased and without any indication of any sort might be something Waters doesn't mind. It certainly doesn't endear them to the locality.
I took his details, perhaps I should make them known to the Management of the site. The chap in the vehicle behind me did come and speak at the temporary lights further along Altrincham Road and say that 'you should have punched him on the nose'.
Luckily, I have more about me.
