FURTHER STAND CHANGES HANKINSON WAY – NORTHBOUND 08/09/2020 11:23:45

Wednesday 9th September

FURTHER STAND CHANGES

HANKINSON WAY – NORTHBOUND

FROM WEDNESDAY 9^TH SEPTEMBER 2020

SALFORD BOLTON NETWORK IMPROVEMENT WORKS

As works are progressing at a pace along Hankinson Way, we are making the following stand change to aid the contractors in their work.

From around midday on the above date, Stops C & D will close. ALL services from those stops will run from Stop B instead until further notice. As this will combine even more services running from one stop, it is imperative that drivers only use stop B on a Load-and-Go basis. To support drivers, it has been agreed that the lay-by area behind stop B will be backfilled with tarmac, raising the kerb line and lengthening the area in which services can alight and pick up passengers safely. Following that work’s completion, we will implement the stand change.
