Construction information and road closures

Current works

Phase 2 of the Standish Multi-User Path (MUP) has commenced on 7 September 2026 and be completed by the end of November 2026. The works have been planned to minimise disruption wherever possible.

Construction will be carried out by Griffiths Civil Engineering and will primarily take place under two-way temporary traffic signals operating during off-peak hours. A temporary 30mph speed limit will also be in place through the works area to help ensure the safety of road users and the workforce.

Short-term overnight road closures may be required for activities such as road markings and the installation of road signs where these works cannot be safely undertaken during the day. Any road closures or changes to traffic management arrangements will be communicated in advance.

Construction of a new shared-use path alongside a curved roadway. The image shows a newly laid kerb separating the path from the road, with exposed red earth and excavation works in the foreground. An excavator and road workers in high-visibility clothing are visible in the distance, while traffic passes through a coned-off lane management system. Trees and vegetation line both sides of the route under an overcast sky. A newly constructed shared-use path under development runs alongside a rural road. The path surface is compacted red stone, bordered by new kerbs separating it from the carriageway. Traffic management is in place with cones lining the road and temporary barriers visible ahead. Grass verges and hedgerows flank the route, while a cloudy sky stretches overhead. The image shows the route taking shape before the final surface is laid. A newly constructed section of shared-use path stretches alongside a rural road, with a compacted red stone surface and new kerbs installed on both sides. An excavator is positioned further along the route, while traffic passes through a coned-off lane under temporary traffic management. Grass verges, hedgerows and trees line the path, and the route follows a gentle curve through the countryside beneath a cloudy sky.
