Work to improve road junction in Prestwich

A new signalised junction to improve vehicle and pedestrian movement will be installed at the meeting of Bury New Road, George Street and Kings Road in Prestwich.

Work will start on 17 January 2022 and last for 12 weeks, and when completed will include new controlled pedestrian crossings throughout the junction.

The works are being funded by a private developer in conjunction with Bury Council and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).

The council apologises for any disruption caused but expects that the improved facilities will make the junction safer for its more vulnerable users.
