Introducing bus stop accessibility upgrade works in this area, as part of the Growth Deal 3 funded scheme to upgrade 43 bus stops to current accessibility standards as identified by TfGM.

The purpose of the bus stop accessibility upgrades will be the introduction of a ’No stopping order’ in the form of a bus stop clearways and improve accessibility, to raise the current pavement height in the bus stop boarding and alighting area to be introduced at the following locations.

PHASE 2 – BUS STOPS – NORDEN AREA

This phase along Norden Road and Bury Road with Bagslate Moor Road, Moorland Avenue

and War Office Road, taking in 12 x bus stop upgrades

including 3 tbc x shelter raises and 1 x stop relocation

Phase 2 - Norden          

Bury Road – 5 stops

Norden Road – 3 stops

War Office Road – 2 stops

Bagslate Moor Road – 2 stops

Moorland Avenue – 1 stop

This will be achieved in a phased programme of closing stops, siting temporary stops where safe to do so and to facilitate minimal disruption where possible.

Traffic management will be under the control of temporary two way traffic lights – anticipated at all locations.

PHASE 2 – expected from 28/01/2021
