The traffic management for the ongoing work on Phase 2 of the Northeast Gateway scheme currently consists of:

  • Closure of the existing bus lane on Oldham Road (southbound towards the City Centre)
  • Closure of the parking bays between Poland Street and Cornell Street
  • Closure of Sherratt Street with the Oldham Road junction
  • Working patterns will be:

                    Monday to Friday: 8am to 5pm 

                    Saturday: 8am to 4pm  

                    Sunday: 9.30am to 3.30pm 

We expect this phase of the work to last until mid-July 2025.

Detail of further phases of work, including the changes to Thompson Street and Rochdale Road, will be added to the website as soon as dates are finalised.

Ongoing work

  • Temporary closure of a section of Sherrat Street, from 2 July until approximately the end of July. During this time, vehicles will not be able to turn onto Oldham Road from Sherrat Street.
  • Thompson Street (northeast and southeast) - work is ongoing until approximately the end of August. There will be lane closures on both sides of the carriageway, but two-way traffic will be maintained. Parking bays will be suspended, and bus stops will be relocated. Some overnight total closures will be required for resurfacing.
