Stockton Heath swing bridge
MOTORISTS faced long delays after Stockton Heath swing bridge broke down this evening, Tuesday.
The bridge, which crosses the Manchester Ship Canal on London Road, resulted in tonight’s planning meeting over proposals for 770 homes in south Warrington being delayed for 15 minutes.
The structure has broken down numerous times in recent years.
Stockton Heath Swing Bridge stuck open, services diverted via Chester Road and Walton New Road in both directions. Apologies.

It has now reopened, with traffic flowing back to normal.
