Worsley Road Closed: Greenwood Ave

Motorists in Worsley are advised to be prepared for a period of disruption on Greenwood Avenue, as works are set to get underway on August 7, 2026. The works, scheduled to take place until September 3, 2026, will see the closure of a section of the road, with motorists facing a detour to navigate the area.

Greenwood Avenue, located in the heart of Worsley, is a key route for commuters, and the works are expected to cause medium-level disruption. The project is being carried out by Salford City Council, under a Section 50 notice, which allows them to undertake the necessary works to improve the road infrastructure.

Motorists are being urged to plan their journeys in advance and to check traffic updates regularly to avoid any delays. The highway authority has advised that the closure will be in place from 14:57 on August 7, 2026, and will remain until 23:00 on September 3, 2026. While the closure is in place, drivers are recommended to use alternative routes, such as nearby streets and roads, to navigate the area.

For those relying on their GPS or traffic apps, it's essential to check for updates regularly to avoid any unexpected delays. Motorists are also advised to allow plenty of extra time for their journeys, as the works are expected to cause congestion in the area. The highway authority has assured that the necessary signs will be in place to guide drivers through the area, and that they will be working tirelessly to complete the works as quickly as possible.

While the works are ongoing, local residents and businesses are being asked to be patient and understanding, as the authorities work to improve the road infrastructure. The project is expected to bring long-term benefits to the area, including improved road safety and reduced congestion.
