A post from Cheshire East Council regarding the road surface in extreme temperature. 🌡️
They are aware of the situation on the A6.
🌡️ Due to the current high temperatures, road surfaces can soften, causing bitumen to rise – particularly on recently surface dressed areas.
If you see our gritters out, they’re applying specialist material to help protect affected surfaces and keep our network moving safely.
🔍 During the hot spell, we’ll be out inspecting recently laid sites.
⚠️ Surface dressing dates may be affected, as we’re unable to lay material during periods of high road surface temperatures.
📢 For the latest updates, please check our designated webpage and advance warning road signs:

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
