Several roads in Bury are to be fully closed for periods starting next week as resurfacing work begins.
Two streets in each of Radcliffe, Whitefield and Ramsbottom will be subject to temporary traffic orders prohibiting vehicles from October 13 or when
the work starts.
The streets are:
Ten Acre Drive, Whitefield – full length
Eight Acre, Whitefield – full length
Belgrave Street, Radcliffe – full length
Robert Street, Radcliffe – full length
Springwood Strect, Ramsbottom – full length
Boulden Drive, Ramsbottom -full length
Bury council said the reason for the proposed orders was for carriageway resurfacing works.
The traffic orders will remain in force for a period of up to 18 months, although the anticipated duration of the works will be around four weeks.
The authority have stated alternative routes for some of the road closures.
For Ten Acre Drive the diversion is eastbound via Ringley Road, Ringley Drive, Ganton Avenue and Standmoor Road and westbound via Ringley Road, Old Hall Road, Hillingdon Road and Hawkstone Avenue.
On Belgrave Street, Radcliffe, phased diversions will be in place as and when required by the works.
At Robert Street in Radcliffe diversions will be in place via Knowles Street, Robertson Street, Lowton Street and Watson Street.
The Boulder Drive, Ramsbotton diversion will be via Holme Avenue, Brandlesholme Road, Throstle Grove, Hebburn Drive and Whitburn Drive and vice versa.
At Eight Acre and Springwood Street there will be no diversions as they are not through roads.
A spokesperson for Bury council, said: “We can carry out a full road resurfacing scheme at any time of year and the length of time required to carry out the resurfacing work depends on the depth required to work down to and the quantity of material that requires replacing.
“Resurfacing restores the road surface to a new condition, removing surface problems and restoring skid resistance.
“This is an expensive treatment that often requires extensive road closures. “Resurfacing has a lifespan of up to 20 years.”
