Congleton Road will be closed between the A537 Monks Heath crossroads and the A536 Manchester Road at Congleton ambulance station for eight evenings.
The closure is to enable Cheshire East Council to carry out a number of highways improvements to the A34 Congleton Road in Marton, including resurfacing and replacing road markings. Gully cleansing and grass cutting will also take place in this location.
The works are planned between 7.30pm and 5am and will start on Monday, 26th September and end on Wednesday, 5th October. The road will be open as usual on October 1st and October 2nd.
A diversion will be in place to assist the movement of traffic while works are under way and will be signposted via the A536 Macclesfield Road, B5088 Oxford Road, A537 Chester Road/Chelford Road and Monks Heath crossroads. These diversions will also operate in reverse.
Councillor David Brown, Cheshire East Council Cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, said: "This is clearly one of our key routes, so we were very keen to ensure that we got the best value for taxpayers by co-ordinating a series of works, while only having the road closed on one occasion.
"Organising these significant works at night was also an important part of our planning."
Emergency access will be maintained at all times and local residents and businesses have been informed. Traffic marshals will be on hand to provide help and advise members of the public throughout the duration of the scheme.

My route from Gawsworth to the M60 is via the road to Siddington and the A34. Any prior info to houses in our village? No.
