Warrington Council says Sankey Street between Legh Street and Bold Street will stay closed until Friday 30 October while engineers resurface the road and carry out gateway works.
Warrington Council says Sankey Street between Legh Street and Bold Street will remain closed until Friday 30 October 2026 after engineering issues were found on the scheme. The update says resurfacing will now take place during the closure rather than later in the year, and pedestrians can still reach shops and businesses.
The council says the wider Sankey Street gateway plans are intended to improve the town centre with better surfacing, planting, crossing points and facilities for buses, pedestrians and cyclists. It describes the work as part of its Sustainable Travel programme and says all dates are subject to change on live projects.
