Continuing our relationship with Cheshire East Council, we were awarded the £26.5m Poynton Relief Road contract. The programme involves the creation of a 3.5km long, two-way single carriageway road. We are also responsible for the upgrade of two off-site junctions at Adlington Crossroads and Bonis Hall Lane, both of which are situated along the A523 London Road.
Additional features include cycleway and footway facilities, two new accommodation overbridges, and balancing ponds for drainage.
As a central component of the South East Manchester Multi-Modal strategy, the project will relieve the existing Poynton town traffic and improve connectivity between Macclesfield, Stockport, Manchester Airport and the wider area.
The scheme will also deliver a range of complementary measures on the A523 London Road to Macclesfield, that address road safety and congestion while mitigating wider environmental impacts from traffic.

We would like to thank residents and commuters for your ongoing patience while we deliver this infrastructure programme.
To facilitate our ongoing works to improve the Bonis Hall Lane junction, we will be imposing 3-way temporary traffic lights 24 hours a day for the duration of the works. The works to be carried out include the construction of new filter lanes and widening of the existing carriageway.
Start Date: 11 August 2021
Planned Completion Date: Late February 2022
Traffic has been switched to a newly constructed temporary single lane carriageway on the north side of Chester Road next to our site compound. Traffic is been managed by 2-way traffic lights.
The temporary carriageway will remain in place for approximately 12 months and is essential to facilitate the ongoing construction of the new Chester Road overbridge.
Start Date: 28 June 2021
Planned Completion Date: Late June 2022
The Poynton Relief Road Project Team organised a collection to donate toys and other gifts in support of the NSPCC toy appeal. The NSPCC collects and give toys to local deprived children, who for various reasons may not receive a gift at Christmas.
Bonis Hall Lane Junction & Adlington Crossroads Improvements
Works continue to progress on the Bonis Hall Lane junction upgrade, with kerb installation, drainage and surfacing works been carried out, ahead of the new traffic light signals been installed.
The Bonis Hall Lane junction and Adlington crossroads improvement works were instructed by Cheshire East Council as part of the Poynton Relief Road project.
The decision to improve the junctions was made following completion of detailed traffic modelling which showed that under future traffic flows the current layout would become over capacitated, increasing waiting times and reduce safety. It was therefore decided to complete the junction improvements before the Poynton Relief Road opens to traffic.
The Project Team took the decision to complete the Bonis Hall Lane junction first, due to the large amount of earthworks to be undertaken and take advantage of the dry summer weather in order to complete them. The works commenced in May 2021 and have been phased to make the most of the tight working area available to us in order to keep the junction open to traffic.
The Bonis Hall Lane junction is on schedule to be completed in late February, with works starting shortly after on the Adlington crossroads upgrade.
