Town's green will remain a huge hole for another YEAR due to 'complex' Metrolink tunnel repairs
Repairs to a Victorian railway tunnel under which the Metrolink runs will leave a town's green dug up for another YEAR. The turf at Whitefield was first removed in March 2021.
But the site was later completely surrounded by boarding and protected by 24-hour security. Metrolink services were disrupted last August by the work. It then came to a halt after temporary measures were taken to make the tunnel, which dates from 1876, safe.But in recent weeks, in addition to a vast hole on the green exposing utility pipes, a small section of Church Lane has been dug up too. This has resulted in traffic being prevented from turning left onto Bury New Road.
“The complexity of the work means we have not been able to deliver it alongside other planned works happening on the line this year, as we had hoped. Instead, to minimise further disruption to passengers this year, we are planning the works for Spring/Summer 2023.
