Stalybridge: Market St closed

Market Street in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, is set to be partially closed from this afternoon, Thursday 12th August, until Sunday 15th August, as Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council carries out essential roadworks. The works will affect drivers travelling through the area, with the road closure in place between 17:00 on Thursday and 04:30 on Sunday.

The partial closure of Market Street is expected to have a medium impact on traffic flow and will be managed by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, in their role as promoting and maintaining the local highway network. Drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys, as the roadworks are likely to cause some congestion. Motorists are being urged to check traffic and travel updates before embarking on their journeys, using apps such as Waze, Google Maps or ViaMichelin, to avoid the affected area.

Those who need to travel through Stalybridge during the roadworks are advised to use alternative routes, such as the nearby A627(M) or the A6018, to avoid the congestion on Market Street. The council has advised drivers to follow the diversion signs and to be patient, as the roadworks are necessary to maintain the integrity of the local road network. The council is working to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, with the aim of reducing disruption to motorists and residents.

The temporary closure of Market Street is expected to have an impact on local businesses and residents, and the council is urging people to be mindful of the roadworks and to plan their journeys accordingly. The council is working closely with local stakeholders to minimise the impact of the roadworks and to ensure that the works are completed as quickly as possible.

Motorists are also reminded that the roadworks are subject to change, and drivers are advised to check for updates before embarking on their journeys. The council will provide regular updates on the progress of the roadworks and any changes to the planned schedule.
