Apparently a section of the A50 will be closed Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

From the signage, it looks like it's the section including the Stocks Lane/A50 junction to just past the A50 entrance to Radbrooke. The signs indicate a complete closure (not just working hours).

Going to be fun there if that's the case, as there aren't any good routes for diversions round there (not sure if they'll start the diversion in Knutsford?).

Just wondered, does anyone working at Radbrook have any more detail (one assumes highways will have provided info to Barclays) about if it is indeed a total closure for the full three days?

Going to be interesting if anything happens on the M6...

It's this week isn't it? I'm sure the sign yesterday said from the 12th for three days, but then it was open this morning. confused

Yesterday was crap though. They had diversion signs pointing traffic down Seven Sisters Lane, but then nothing. I got lost but eventually found my way back to Stocks Lane.

I'll have a look at the sign when I leave tonight and see what's going on.

Hello! Indeed I am.

Spent a year up in Edinburgh but back 'home' now. I like what they've done with the place. thumbup

It's a bit different in Babbage now isn't it? I do feel old when I walk past the youngsters in the hopper areas.
