Managing the work - Phase 2
May 2024 Update
We will be building a walking and cycling route that links communities to the city centre. These plans will affect junctions on:
- Oldham Road
- Rochdale Road
- Thompson Street
- Old Mill Street
Proposed changes include cycle optimised junctions:
- where Rochdale Road meets Thompson Street
- at the junction of Oldham Road and Thompson Street
as well as a new crossing on Old Mill Street.
We are working with other developments in the area to reduce disruption to residents. Because of this, Phase 2 should now begin in early 2025. This will allow residents and businesses to continue as normal, as much as possible.
The installation of the Ashton Canal Bridge will go ahead as planned in June this year. This will have minimal impact on the local road network.
