A major milestone has been reached in Radcliffe with the completion of a new £3.2 million bridge at Milltown Street, which was officially opened today. The 50-metre single-span structure restores a vital crossing over the River Irwell, reconnecting communities for the first time in over a decade.
A landmark moment happened at Milltown Street in Radcliffe this week when a new £3.2 million 50-metre single span bridge was crane lifted into position, restoring a long-lost link across the River Irwell.
Work is well under way to install a new bridge over the River Irwell in Radcliffe connecting Milltown Street to Rectory Lane.
A project to restore a long-missing link in Radcliffe’s local infrastructure is about to get underway. The £3.2 million project funded by the government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) and the Mayor’s Challenge fund, will reinstate Milltown Street Bridge which was destroyed in 2015 by the Boxing Day floods.
