Crewe Town Centre Regeneration

Cheshire East Council has given an update on the first phase of its Royal Arcade scheme.

The first phase, which includes a new bus station and multi-storey car park, is due to reach its first major milestone on January 4, when a temporary bus station is expected to be brought into use.

Over the next few weeks, works to complete this stage of the project will include creating temporary bus lanes, landscaping, and installing passenger shelters, waiting areas, cycle stands and facilities for bus drivers.

Once finished, work can then begin to demolish the existing bus station and build the new permanent bus station and multi-storey car park, which are expected to open at the end of 2023.

Over the next few weeks, works will focus on junctions at Delamere Street and Lawrence Street, and various restrictions will be in place.

However, the restrictions will not affect the nearby car parks and there will be no road closures in place.

Ed – this news was issued by Cheshire East late in November, but pressure on space has prevented us from publishing it until now.
