Traffic disruption is set to continue in Cheadle village for a further week due to dual roadworks and road closures.
Manchester Road heading towards Parrs Wood and Didsbury has been closed since January 26 and is set to remain so until Wednesday February 4.
Gas company Cadent have said the works are due to a customer in the area requesting a new gas supply, and received permission from Stockport Council.

But as one of only two routes from the area into south Manchester, the closure has had a severe impact on local traffic, forcing drivers heading north onto the A34 and causing bus services to be diverted.

A Cadent spokesperson said: “We have a road closure at the junction of Manchester Road and High Street for a connections project.
“The work started on 26th January and is scheduled to be completed by the 4th February.
“A customer has asked for a gas supply to be connected and to be able to safely complete this work, we have had to ask for a temporary closure of part of the road, from the local Highways Authority.
“The road/lane closure will enable the work to be carried out safely, for traffic, pedestrians and our engineers.”
And it comes as Stockport Council embark on another roadworks project less than a mile away.
Carriageway drainage and resurfacing works began on Stockport Road yesterday (January 30) on the A560 Stockport Road between Councillor Lane and Roscoes Roundabout.
The works are expected to take around a week to complete, and the road is set to be closed from 8pm to 5am nightly.
The council say they have liaised with bus service providers to make arrangements to services affected by the works.
