Birse Civils have informed us that Brook Lane will reopen tomorrow morning. The road has been closed since March 22nd whilst Birse constructed the new bridge as part of the on-going works for the A34 Alderley Edge and Nether Alderley Bypass.
A spokesperson from Birse said "We don't anticipate any further closures, but there are some outstanding works particularly fencing which will require traffic management for a period."
Delays caused by BT prevented Birse from reopening Brook Lane as originally intended on August 19th so they worked through last weekend to ensure that the road is open for the Bank Holiday and more importantly for the start of school.
The footpath on Brook Lane, which has been closed since 4th August, will also reopen tomorrow morning.
The spokesperson from Birse added "The bypass will hopefully be opened in November, we can't set a date as we still have to take into account the weather and other aspects that may hold things up. But we are hopeful!"
To mark the occasion representatives from Nether Alderley Parish Council, Alderley Edge Rotary Club, Wilmslow Running Club, Seashell Trust and the Combined Charities Christmas Shops have come together to provide us with the opportunity to run, or walk, the bypass on Sunday October 24th - before it is open to traffic.
Places for the run are limited to 500 so don't leave it too late to enter. See our previous article for further details regarding both the bypass run and walk.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
I think that Alderley should be thankful that Birse were awarded the by-pass contract as they have proved to be most efficient (especially in their communication skills) and their imput into the local community.
Lets all enjoy the fun run /walk in October and support the charities.
Imagine my surprise when I tried to go down Brook Lane an hour ago to find all the 'road closed' signs still up and the road still closed. So much for 'tomorrow morning'. I will be thankful when Birse finally do bother to open it again...
