- Reason
- To install new pedestrian crossing facilities and carry out other improvements to the road and pavements. These include drainage improvements, new road markings, carriageway surfacing and remodelling junctions with Buckley Lane and Spring Mill Walk to improve road safety and traffic efficiency.
- Restriction and location
-
Halifax Road:
- Works will be carried out between Buckley Lane and Wardle Road.
- As part of this, traffic won't be allowed to turn right from Halifax Road onto Spring Mill Walk while a toucan crossing is installed and other junction improvements are made.
- Traffic will be able to continue to flow through during most of the works as one lane will be closed at a time.
- Due to the narrow width of the northbound carriageway (towards Littleborough), a temporary one-way closure of Halifax Road will be required. This closure will apply to northbound traffic only. A section between Wardle Road and the Rochdale bypass will be closed for one night to install the contra-flow system.
- Alternative route
-
During the temporary closure to northbound traffic, a clearly signed diversion route will be in place.
During the temporary prohibition of turning right onto Spring Mill Lane from Halifax Road, the alternative route will be signed onsite.
At all other times, the works will be carried out using lane closures, allowing traffic to flow through.
