St Mary’s Gate Road Safety Scheme

Overview

Rochdale Council proposes to build a new pedestrian and cycle crossing across St Mary’s Gate with its junction at Redcross Street. The project is funded by the Government’s Towns Fund and is estimated to cost around £2million. This location currently has a lot of pedestrians trying to cross a busy 5 lane dual carriageway road and this crossing point will allow people to cross the road in a more safe way.

Whilst there will be disruption during construction, this new crossing will not have a major detrimental impact on traffic flow once complete.
