Drivers will be forced to follow diversions for three months as 'vital' bridge works will be carried out near Stockport. The improvements will take place between April and July on Wellington Road bridge, which crosses over the M60 between junctions one and 27 in Stockport.
Highways North West have announced they are planning to carry out safety improvements to the bridge, which include replacing both sides of the existing barrier with a new 1.8-metre-high steel barrier to 'improve safety and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians'.
Work is set to commence on April 25, with the aim of finishing three months later at the end of July. The work will take place in three phases, with various traffic management arrangements in place including overnight road closures and diversions.
