A495 in Ellesmere to be resurfaced from Sparbridge to Newton

The A495 in Ellesmere is to be resurfaced from Sparbridge Roundabout to Newton, from Tuesday 2 June to Friday 3 July [2026].

Work will be carried out from 9.30am to 4pm each day (weekdays only) when the road will be closed.

During the closures there will be no on-street parking but access to the work area will be maintained for the following:

• • Residents living within the closure, when safe to do so.
  • Businesses located within the closure, when safe to do so.
  • Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians
  • Emergency vehicles.

For all other traffic a signed diversion will be place. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

People are asked to ensure vehicles are not parked on the road whilst the work is in progress.

All planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be displayed on the yellow advanced warning signs and on https://one.network/
