The M58 link road scheme will eventually connect M6 and M58 traffic to the M61 via the new road through Wigan
Drone footage has shown an essential new link road is nearly complete as part of wider plans to connect the M6 and M58 to the M61 via the highway.
This forms part of a deal made between the council and homebuilder Northstone, a subsidiary of Peel L&P. It would see them deliver their Tulach development - a community of 268 energy-efficient family homes- at the former Pemberton Colliery site.As part of their mission to transform the underused brownfield site, Northstone committed over £4m toward delivering and constructing this section of the major new transport route.
“When we started at the former Pemberton Colliery site we promised to deliver this strategic infrastructure alongside some of the highest quality, most energy- efficient homes ever delivered in Wigan – all set within new green spaces. We’re delivering on those commitments. The stretch of the road being delivered by Northstone is one of several segments of the full link road, planned to be around nine miles in length stretching from junction 5 of the M61 through Leigh, Hindley, Wigan, Ince, and Pemberton. It’s being delivered via a mix of funding pots and is aimed at better linking the west of the borough to the town centre via a new A49 link road extension.
