Cheshire East Council has confirmed that the outstanding work planned for Chorley Hall Lane is scheduled to start next week.
The road was closed for several days in June to enable resurfacing work to be carried out on sections of the road and Cheshire East Highways are now planning to return next week (commencing August 12th) to carry out surface dressing.
Councillor David Topping, Cabinet member in charge of the environment, said: "Initial works to repair sections of the damaged road in Chorley Hall Lane are complete and I now expect the 'surface dressing' stage of the works to start next week.
"The technique being used is designed to seal the surface of the road and prevent water getting in, when in winter it can freeze and start to break up the surface, leading to the potholes.
"Of course, the current work is weather dependent, and can be affected by wet or extremely hot conditions but we expect it to be completed shortly. Road markings will follow once the surface has settled.
"The works will require the closure of the road and residents should see notices appearing on the site."
As soon as I receive confirmation about the road closure I will add the details to this article.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
How long will that take ? How much longer do we have to live with the barmy parking ?
I don't get it - if there are double yellow lines because its a problem if parking is permitted along Chorley Hall Lane, what responsible motorist thinks its ok to park there whilst the lines are temporarily incomplete ?
Work was to have started today - 12th August - but it looks mighty quiet to me. The Give Way sign is still lying flat on its back where the lane meets the London Road!
I recently drove through mid Wales onto Haverfordwest and then back via Brecon and Hereford. Every road was immaculate, clean and totally blemish and pothole free. It was noticeable when returning to Cheshire that our county's road are a total mess and I always thought Cheshire was one of the country's 'cool' and 'chic' counties. I was wrong!
Don't get too excited about Chorley Hall Lane - nobody else is! Park where you like and see if you can accelerate to a speed beyond 70 mph (as some do) before you hit the railway bridge. It REALLY does frighten the Mums pushing their children in a buggy on the very narrow pavement to say nothing of the approaching car on the other side but hey, you can't see that yet! And they can't see you............
It's not a fair comparison to look at Wales and complain about England. Long live independence so we can stop funding the other home countries.
On the other hand - I agree its a joke that there has been such a delay between resurfacing and the surface dressing. Personally - I put it down to desperate cost cutting by CEC and the ridiculous resignation of Rod Menlove and his replacement by the ever so nice David Topping.
Come back Rod - all is forgiven - not that there was anything to forgive :D
Almost two weeks ago it was reported to Cheshire east and Cheshires police force that travellers had set up camp with three caravans on double yellows on Earl road at Stanley green. Although they were on double yellows they weren't commiting an offence.So weren't moved on. There must be twenty there now.
Well done Cheshire east and Cheshire police.
