Drivers should watch out for the following roads as road works continue across Stockport. People can 'expect delays' on some key routes.

Road works can be carried out for a number of reasons including changes being made to a road, emergency repairs, as well as work by utility companies.

However a 2025 parliamentary transport committee report said: "They can also be a source of frustration for anyone trying to get around on roads and pavements by causing congestion and delays that harm the economy, disrupt transport services and limit access to high streets and businesses."

Drivers should be aware of the disruptions and full information about what road works are taking place across Greater Manchester can be found on Transport for Greater Manchester's website.
