Motorists reminded of Oldham Way bypass closures during bridge work

Oldham Council is reminding motorists and residents about lane closures on the Oldham Way (A672) bypass.

The work is:

  • Full lane closure starting on Monday, May 23 for a maximum three days in each direction;
  • Full road closure (from Manchester Street roundabout to A672 Oldham Way Bypass) with local diversion route on Wednesday, May 25 for a maximum four days.

The work is part of an ongoing programme to strengthen the bridge which crosses Middleton Road (A669).

Contractors will try to minimise disruption as much as possible and driver are urged to take alternative routes if possible, especially at peak times.

Advance warning signs have also been placed on roads leading to the roadworks.
