A bridge over a motorway is being replaced in a £23m engineering project that will see a slip road closed for three years, highways bosses have announced. Work at St Anne's Bridge - over the M67 in Denton, Tameside - is due to start next month, with the bridge closing from 9pm on January 10.
The bridge and the entry slip road joining the M67 at junction 2 will need to remain closed for three years due to the extent of the structural work required, said National Highways.
They said the bridge required 'extensive structural repairs', with a spokesman saying: "We have explored many potential options for repairing the bridge and have concluded that the best solution is to replace the bridge entirely. This is quicker, safer, and more practical than repairing it.
