The 60 metre long enbankment will link existing flood defences in the Redvales area of Bury to higher ground
A 60 metre-long earth embankment is set to be built along a stretch of the River Irwell to link newly built flood defences to higher ground. The Environment Agency has this week lodged plans for the scheme in the Redvales area of Bury.
The flood defence work was commissioned after December 26, 2015 when a major flood event occurred on the River Irwell, measured by nearby gauging stations as the highest on record.

The phase 1 works included a series of sheet piled walls and embankments, on the southern extent of Bury and the northern extent of Radcliffe, at Close Park and Dumers Lane.
