A580 East Lancashire Road at the Lancaster Road and Worsley Road junctions

The works will start on 8 January 2024 and are due to complete in summer 2024. The works will be taking place at both junctions at the same time to shorten length of the project and the subsequent disruption wherever possible.

Working hours will be Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm.

There will be temporary bus lane suspensions and lane closures at both junctions throughout the works. To minimise disruption for residents and commuters the works affecting traffic flow will be carried out between the following hours:

• Wigan-bound side of the A580 between 8.30am – 2.30pm
• Manchester-bound side of the A580 between 10.30am – 3.30pm

A number of temporary left turn and right turn bans will be required for short periods at various stages during the project. These will always be accompanied by a clearly signposted diversion with access in and out of properties maintained at all times.

For the safety of commuters and the workforce, a 30mph speed limit will be in place through and between the junctions for the duration of the project.

Towards the end of the project, work will also require the closure to junctions overnight for carriageway resurfacing. More details on this will be provided nearer the time.
