The back of Wigan Road will also be closed on March 17.

The road closure will prohibit all traffic from proceeding on the back of Wigan Road from Hulton Lane to Worsley Road to allow works to take place.

To ensure recycling bins are emptied during the works, council officials are asking residents to present them at the nearest accessible point to ensure that they can be emptied on the usual collection days.

Council officials say they want to apologise for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
