What are the Police doing about HGV’s ignoring the weight limit and diversion on Baddlington Bridge
Issued 01 May 2026
Since the weight restriction and associated diversion were introduced, we have worked closely with local councillors and Cheshire East Highways to address community concerns. Our team has increased visibility at the bridge, stopped a number of HGVs attempting to use the route, and shared regular updates through our Facebook page. In recent weeks, we have also met with Highways representatives on site to support their ongoing structural assessment work.
