Rochdale: Emma St closed due skips

Rochdale drivers are warned to expect disruptions on Emma Street due to ongoing roadworks. The stretch of road, located in the heart of Rochdale, will be impacted by the works, which are scheduled to continue until August 26. The works are being carried out by Rochdale Borough Council, the local highway authority responsible for maintaining the borough's network of roads.

Drivers can expect medium severity disruptions during this time, with the most significant impact likely to be during peak hours. The works are being caused by the presence of skips on the road, which will limit traffic flow and potentially cause delays. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes where possible to avoid the affected area. Checking traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps can also help drivers plan their journeys in advance and avoid congested areas.

The roadworks on Emma Street are set to commence on August 12 at 9:43 and will continue until August 26 at 22:59. During this time, drivers can expect traffic lights or other traffic management measures to be in place to facilitate the works. Motorists are advised to follow the instructions of traffic marshals and to be patient when navigating the area.

While the roadworks are expected to cause some inconvenience, it's worth noting that the works are necessary to maintain the road's condition and prevent further deterioration. By working with the local highway authority, Rochdale Borough Council is taking proactive steps to ensure the road remains safe and accessible for all users.

In the meantime, drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and to allow extra time for travel. This may involve leaving earlier or using alternative modes of transport, such as walking or cycling. By taking these precautions, motorists can minimize the impact of the roadworks on their daily commute.
