Proposals for a multi-million pound programme of works to improve major roads in Wigan are set to be put into place next week. The projects, funded by developer contributions to offset the impact of house building schemes in Standish, Lowton and Golborne total around £8 million.
They include major changes to improve traffic flow and boost road safety. This will also include cycling and walking schemes to supplement the borough’s growing sustainable transport networks.
In Lowton and Golborne, the programme of works detail improvements to the A580/Newton Road junction with a new left turn and the A580/Stone Cross Lane, widening Stone Cross Lane to three lanes.
