Neil Tague The £90m highways project has been opened to traffic following its completion by contractor Graham. The 5.5km Wolstenholme Elmy Way joins the A534 Sandbach Road to the west and the A536 Macclesfield Road to the north. The project has released close to 50 acres of employment land. The route had opened to the public to walk and cycle along at the weekend before opening to vehicles for the working week. Described by Cheshire East Council as the borough’s largest infrastructure project to date, the road is named after pioneering educationalist and suffragette Elizabeth Clarke Wolstenholme Elmy. The route is intended to relieve the town of some of its historical traffic problems, create space for cyclists and pedestrians and improve air quality for residents, while opening up development opportunities.
