The road is a key route through the town centre
A major road in the centre of Rochdale will get a £2m overhaul after getting the green light from council bosses.
The new crossing will be located next to Reed Hill car park, which will also get a reconfiguration with a new entrance and exit point created at Hunters Lane. The latest town hall meeting in Number One Riverside heard how £2.035m of capital and £118k revenue funding from the Towns Fund programme will go towards this project.
Rochdale Council's cabinet heard how this is part of a drive to improve road safety and better connect Rochdale town centre to its surrounding neighbourhoods and the infirmary. Although disruption is expected during construction, this new crossing will not have a major detrimental impact on traffic flow once complete, the meeting on July 23 heard.
