Major road through centre of Bury subject to evening and overnight closures for 32 weeks

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A main road through the centre of Bury will be closed to traffic on certain evenings for up to 32 weeks. Bury Council has said Angouleme Way will be subject to evening and overnight closures, starting on Sunday, February 23.

The disruption for motorists is for work to bring major improvements to Bury Market. The eastbound carriageway, from Murray Road to Spring Street, will be closed to traffic from 7pm to 6am on certain evenings.

Overnight closures in February will be on 23, 24, 25 and 27 February. Diversions routes will be clearly signed, and alternative routes will be via Angouleme Way (westbound), Jubilee Way, Peel Way, Derby Way and Rochdale Road, via Market Street, Wellington Road, Parkhills Road, Heywood Street and Rochdale Road or via Market Street, Parkhills Road and Manchester Road.

Motorists travelling between these times and on these dates are advised to allow more time for their journey. The reason for the temporary overnight road closures is to allow new canopies to be delivered and lifted by crane onto Bury Outdoor Market, starting with the steel frames and then the timber undersides of the canopies.
