All the road closures in Warrington as Tour of Britain enters town

Some of the best women cyclists in the world will compete as Warrington hosts the third stage of the event on Saturday, June 8.

The race leaves the Golden Gates around 11am with the finish back in the town centre, expected to be around 2.15pm.

The route will see riders heading out down Chester Road by Walton Gardens and out to Macclesfield before returning through Knutsford and then through the likes of Appleton and Stockton Heath, over the Cantilever Bridge and then through Latchford and Kingsway.

So plenty of roads will be closed.
