It will be shut in both directions between Shakerley Lane and Green Hall Close on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 23, while a nearby section between Stamford Street and Shakerley Lane will be closed on Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31.

This is for road resurfacing as part of the Atherton and Tyldesley Strategic Links North scheme, which includes a new toucan crossing and a raised table on Bolton Road.

Elsewhere, a new electrical connection will be installed on Prescott Avenue, Golborne, so the road will be closed from Tuesday, May 26 to Monday, June 1.

The alternative route is via Edge Green Lane, Helen Street and Park Avenue.

Mather Lane, Leigh, will also be shut for an electrical connection from Tuesday, May 26 to Sunday, May 31.

Lowe Mill Lane, Hindley, will be shut from Monday, June 8 to Tuesday, June 9, with access maintained for residents where possible.

This is necessary to allow cable recovery.
