A BUS lane is to be created on a major route from Bolton.

Work will start on November 14, for 30 weeks, on Bolton Road, Bury.

The plans include installation of new road signals at the A58 Bolton Road and Ainsworth Road junction, to help pedestrians to cross and reduce congestion.

There will be carriageway widening along Bolton Road to make way for a bus lane from Haig Road to Waterloo Street.

Buses will benefit from an Automatic Vehicle Location system, which can ensure that the traffic lights are on green as late-running buses approach
