With halfterm school holidays on the way, you can pretty much always expect some roadworks to be happening around Ramsbottom.
This time, there is a bit of digging going to be happening on Nuttall Lane, potentially adding a few extra minutes to your commute if you live down in the Nuttall Lane/Whittingham Drive estate areas.
Thanks to roadworks.org you can find out the details of these roadworks.
Nuttall Lane Roadworks 30 May – 3 Jun 2019
Ramsbottom is once again set to become gridlocked with more planned road works. This time however it’s not resurfacing of Bridge Street nor a closure for another (fantastic) festival, It’s not even to fix broken water pipes due to the heavy goods vehicles that use our roads. This time it’s gas. Gas pipe replacement works.
Twitter follower Alan Groves brought to my attention (cheers Alan) recently the planned road works ready to hit Ramsbottom this coming Monday which will undoubtedly cause congestion and suffering over all our already busy routes.

The planned start date for the works is Monday the 23rd of July 2018.
Roadworks on Manchester Road in Ramsbottom are expected to be in place until the 10th of May causing many delays and frustration for drivers especially at rush hour.
The frequently repaired stretch of road is currently being worked on by Electricity North West who have yet to comment on the cause of the repairs but it’s likely to be damaged cables although they have recently been replacing cables in a large upgrade project.
