When the £2.8m upgrade of Moonrakers is complete, road users will see improved traffic flow on the junction as well as reduced journey times. The junction will also be more accessible for buses, cyclists and pedestrians too.
Last week we announced that we would be extending the duration of the Whitworth Road closure, as part of the improvements, while we wait for a utility company to bury their cables and pipework underground.
At present, we are unable to provide a firm date for when the road will reopen, as this will be dependent on the length of time the utility company takes to complete their work. However, we expect the closure to remain in place at least until early November.
During this time, we will take the opportunity to progress other work in the area faster, such as the drainage work on this section of the junction, which will save time and reduce costs.
You can find out what else has been happening at the junction in the most recent edition of the Moonrakers newsletter.
