Work has started this week on building a new bridge over the River Roch in Bury.
The bridge will be near Redmere Drive, about 30 metres north of the existing Gigg Mills Bridge, which has fallen into disrepair and long been declared unsafe.
The new structure will provide a crossing over the river for pedestrians, cyclists, horses and occasional vehicles. It will be supported on piled reinforced concrete bank seats abutments.
