Heywood Road Sink Hole – Diversions for 2-3 Weeks

by stevewright on 17 October, 2016

Nearby residents and others will no doubt have noticed the closure of Heywood Road (between Heys Road and Bury Old Road).

A deep hole appeared in the middle of the carriageway near 186/188 Heywood Road, Prestwich overnight on Sunday night. Currently, the collapse of a United Utilities 300mm (1 ft) diameter foul sewer is suspected as the cause.

An emergency closure has been put in place and the diversion route will utilise Bury New Road and Bury Old Road via Scholes Lane. Bus companies and emergency services have been notified.

UU anticipate the closure will remain in place for 2-3 weeks in order for them to effect the necessary repairs.
