Roads and transport Ashton Canal Bridge

Work under way to install new Ashton Canal Bridge

Work is ongoing on a new bridge over the Ashton Canal, designed to make it easier to walk and cycle in the area. The bridge will enable residents north of the canal, at Old Mill Street and the Marina to access the Metrolink tram stop at New Islington Green. The bridge will also provide a useful crossing for the various new developments in the area.

During construction, a signed diversion will be in place. The New Islington tram stop will remain in operation.

Read about the details on the consultation page, which includes an artist's impression of how it will look, and a map showing the location.

To help speed up completion of this scheme, weekend working is in operation until 11 January 2025.

Weekend working hours will be:

Saturday 8.30am – 3pm

Sunday 9.30am – 3pm

Work on the bridge is expected to be completed in Spring 2025.
