National Highways is replacing St Anne’s road bridge over the motorway near Denton
A section of the M67 motorway is to close for a weekend while demolition begins on an ‘outdated’ road bridge.During the first phase of the demolition a section of the M67 motorway will be closed from 9pm on Friday, August 18 to 5am on Monday, August 21 – with the motorway also closed between junction 1A at Denton and junction 3 at Hyde during these times.
During the weekend motorway closure local diversions will be in place including using the A57 which is parallel to the M67. Mangat Bansal, National Highways’ programme delivery manager, said: “We’re making very good progress with our work to replace the bridge. All utility services using the crossing have now been successfully diverted and our preparations for the four-month demolition phase began in June.
After the weekend closure, from Monday, August 21, the section of the M67 between J1 and J2 eastbound and between J3 and J1A westbound will be reduced to narrow lanes.
