Immediate news - Road restrictions in Ramsbottom

Road restrictions have been put in place along a section of Bolton Road West in Ramsbottom to reduce the impact of the current flooding problems on the carriageway.

Temporary signals will operate from Halo Hair Studio down to Moray Close near the Brook pub. which means that traffic can still travel in both directions but only one way at a time under traffic signal control.

Unfortunately, there are now several emergency works under way on Bolton Road West at the same time that have the potential to cause serious congestion. This includes flooding on the road, emergency gas repair works by Transco near Ada Street, emergency electricity repair works by Electricity North West at the main Bridge Street junction and one-way traffic (in a downwards direction) along Kay Brow due to works on a building development.

Motorists are advised to find an alternative route if possible to avoid delay. The council apologises for any inconvenience caused by these unforeseen events.
