Unknown Road Road Closure — Manchester

Motorists in the Manchester area are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Unknown Road in Broadway, Hyde, will be closed due to roadworks from 08:30 on 04 August 2026 to 14:30 on 07 August 2026. The closure, which is being carried out by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who regularly use this route should consider alternative roads to avoid delays, and those who are unfamiliar with the area may want to check traffic apps or mapping services for the most up-to-date information.

The roadworks are part of the council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the local road network, and while the closure may cause some inconvenience, it is necessary to ensure the road remains safe and well-maintained for all users. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has planned the works to take place over a relatively short period to minimise disruption, but drivers should still allow extra time for their journeys, especially during peak hours.

To avoid the closure, drivers can use alternative routes, such as nearby main roads or diversionary routes that will be clearly signposted. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps or websites for real-time information on traffic conditions and to plan the most efficient route. Additionally, drivers can consider avoiding the area altogether, especially if they are not familiar with the local road network. By taking a few simple precautions, motorists can help to minimise the impact of the closure and reduce the risk of delays.

The closure will be in place from 08:30 on 04 August 2026 to 14:30 on 07 August 2026, and drivers should be aware that the road will be closed to all traffic during this time. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council will be working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, drivers should be patient and allow extra time for their journeys. The council apologises for any inconvenience the closure may cause and appreciates the cooperation of motorists in helping to ensure the works are completed safely and efficiently.
