Road works at High Level Road
High Level Road, Rochdale, will be closed and parking suspended for a further week until Monday 10 May 2010 due to road works.
The work is necessary to prepare for the building of the new Metrolink line, as well as the new Metrolink stop at Rochdale Railway Station on Maclure Road.
A local diversion route will continue to be signposted via Maclure Road, Drake Street, Milnrow Road and Oldham Road.
The line will open as far as Central Park in spring 2011, Oldham Mumps in autumn 2011 and Rochdale Railway Station in spring 2012.
The new line is part of the £600 million Metrolink 3A expansion currently being overseen by GMPTE.
As well as the Oldham and Rochdale line, construction is also underway to build three additional lines to MediaCityUK, Chorlton in South Manchester, and Droylsden.
Further expansion to East Didsbury and Ashton-under-Lyne has also now been approved.
