Major Little Hulton roadworks begin on Monday for 17 weeks

The works will affect the Manchester Road East, Manchester Road West, Cleggs Lane, and Armitage Avenue junction until mid-October, as resurfacing work is undertaken and a new crossing is installed.

Local contractor Rosgal Ltd will be the company to undertake the works, on behalf of the commissioner, Salford Council.

Several buses pass through this junction as they travel between Bolton, Little Hulton, Walkden, and Manchester, including the 36, 38, and 20.

If the works are completed on schedule, they should be finished by October 12.

Lewis Croden, City Councillor for Little Hulton Said:” While we appreciate these works will cause temporary disruption, they are essential to create a safer, better-functioning junction for pedestrians and all road users.

“We’ve phased the project to keep impacts to a minimum over the 17-week period.”
