06.10.20. A MESSAGE FROM CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER LOCALITIES
We are pleased to now confirm the arrangements for the inner ring road during the construction of the new rainwater drainage tunnel as follows:
For approximately 12 months, there will be a clockwise one-way route for most of the inner ring road in order to allow for essential infrastructure works to install a new city centre drainage tunnel through Chester.
The new rainwater drainage tunnel will be a significant investment in Chester’s future and is a necessary requirement ahead of major regeneration schemes and vastly improved city centre facilities, including the first phase of the Northgate development.
The tunnel will run from Princess Street south along St. Martin’s Way, Nicholas Street, Grosvenor Road and Castle Drive, and will end with a new outfall into the River Dee; it will be almost 1km in length, 1.2m in diameter and require access shafts 5.5m wide and 7m deep.
Over 85% of the new drain will be installed via tunnelling rather than an open cut to minimise disruption above ground but will require 9 access shafts along the route for the tunnelling equipment to operate from.
After careful planning and consultation, including with the emergency services and bus operators; the Council’s highways team concluded the most efficient and practical solution would be to make the inner ring road primarily a two-lane clockwise route to ensure traffic can be kept moving, and Chester open for business. The ‘clockwise’ plan will create:
More information on the clockwise plan and a short video is available at: www.clockwisechester.com
Hunter Street Update
From Monday 19th October we expect the work on Hunter St. to be completed and to provide access onto St. Martin’s Way. Thereafter Princess St. will then close permanently, however access to Trinity St. will remain open from St. Martin’s Way.
Roman stone recovered from Northgate to be used in city walls
Roman stone blocks found in excavations during construction are to be used to repair the city walls.
We believe the red sandstone blocks are likely to have been quarried locally around two thousand years ago. The blocks will be dressed ready for use in repairs to provide a perfect match with sandstone used when the walls were first built.
This information is also available in our latest newsletter if you wish to share, including FAQs on the Clockwise plan:

- Northbound only route up Nicholas Street and St. Martins Way from the Grosvenor Roundabout to the Fountains Roundabout
- Southwest bound only from The Bars past the Amphitheatre, along Vicar’s Lane, Pepper Street and Grosvenor Street.
