The eastbound carriageway, from Murray Road to Spring Street, will be closed to traffic overnight on certain dates for up to 32 weeks, starting from February 2025. The closures will be between 7pm and 6am.
- Future dates and times will be published when known.
Diversions routes will be clearly signed.
Motorists travelling when this stretch of the carriageway is closed, are advised to allow more time for their journey.
Alternative routes are:
- Angouleme Way (westbound) Jubilee Way, Peel Way, Derby Way and Rochdale Road
- Market Street, Wellington Road, Parkhills Road, Heywood Street and Rochdale Road
- Market Street, Parkhills Road and Manchester Road
The reason for the temporary overnight road closures is to allow new canopies to be delivered and lifted by crane onto Bury Outdoor Market, starting with the steel frames and then the timber undersides.
The new canopies are part of the £33m Bury Market regeneration scheme.
Any disruption will be minimised as all closures will be outside the busiest travelling times.
All closures will be weather dependent as the heavy lifting required cannot go ahead during windy weather.
