Main road into Macclesfield reopens after receiving much-needed TLC

By Matthew Hancock-Bruce 11th Aug 2025

A main road into Macclesfield has reopened after receiving such much-needed TLC.

Resurfacing works have been completed on Oxford Road.

It has been shut between 8am and 5pm since July 28, with a number of other upgrades being carried out during the closure.

A Cheshire East Council spokesperson said: "We've been carrying out resurfacing works at Oxford Road in Macclesfield.

"This has involved levelling off the old, deteriorated surface and replacing it with new material.

"To help minimise future disruption, we've taken a collaborative approach to these road improvements by completing multiple tasks during the closure – this has included gully emptying and the replacement of two damaged pedestrian island bollards.

"Lining was completed on Friday morning and traffic signal loops – used to detect vehicles at the junction – were also replaced."

Oxford Road reopened at 5pm on Friday, August 8.
