WELL-I-HOLE Road in Greenfield is re-open once more to vehicles and pedestrians after repairs were carried out on the bridge following a road traffic accident.
On Monday, November 1, the road was shut for most of the day after a collision between a car and a lorry on the bridge.

Temporary traffic lights were put in place and traffic flow was reduced to one lane while checks were carried out for any damage.
Then the road was closed completely and a diversion put in place while repairs works were carried out and the road was finally re-opened on Monday, December 20.
Meanwhile, local Liberal Democrat campaigners are calling for traffic lights to become a permanent fixture at the bridge as they felt they worked well as a traffic calming measure and made the road safer for pedestrians and cars.
Campaigner Jeff Garner said: “We are asking Oldham Council to consider introducing traffic lights as soon as possible.
“The hump-backed bridge has a record of serious accidents. It is a blind spot on a long straight road, and the lights would reduce speeding and hopefully further accidents.
“The bridge closure has caused a lot of inconvenience for residents. This is a perfect opportunity to upgrade the safety measures at this dangerous bridge.”
We lived in Burn Bank at the side of that bridge for 3 years and never saw or heard one accident. Why should everyone suffer with traffic lights. It is not a blind bridge at all as approaching traffic can easily be seen approaching. I would suggest that a mountain is being made out of a mole hill.
Already we have seen bumped mirrors, airborne adventures and walkers having to scurry across the road as approaching F1 appreciation society members pretend they are on the home stretch at Brands Hatch.
Get some calming measures in place and reduce the speed limit please.
It is a bit tight but if everyone drives sensibly it’s not an issue. Only reason for the crash is because the Jaguar tried overtaking at the bridge – not a smart move.
