Bolton road closures set to impact drivers over coming weeks
Drivers in Bolton should prepare for several road closures and restrictions as essential works are set to begin soon.
St Helens Road will see a temporary suspension of the bus lane starting on August 5, 2025.
The restrictions are scheduled to remain in place from 9.30am to 3.30pm approximately, affecting the east side of St Helens Road.
This suspension is to allow telecom works to take place and will last for 18 months or until the completion of the works, whichever occurs first.
Lord Street will be temporarily closed from August 12, 2025, for approximately one day.
The restrictions are set to prohibit all traffic from proceeding on Lord Street from Albert Street to Seddon Street.
This closure is necessary to allow for manhole repair works to take place.
Motorists are advised to use an alternate route via Ainsworth Road, Victory Road, and High Street during this time.
The order will remain in effect for 18 months or until the completion of the works, whichever occurs first.
Similar to Lord Street, the Order for Mornington Road will last for 18 months or until the completion of the works, whichever comes first.
Residents and commuters are urged to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid delays.
For further updates on the road closures and any potential changes, residents can check the council's official website or local news outlets.
The council aims to minimise disruption and ensure the safety of all road users during this period.
