Trafford Council is warning of a number of road closures to allow for work on a junction in Stretford.

The road closures are all overnight and are on several nights over the course of two weeks next month.

This is to allow for work on the junction of Chester Road and Talbot Road where one of three CYCLOPS [Cycle Optimised Protected Signals] junctions is to be installed. The other CYCLOPS junctions are at Talbot Road/Great Stone Road and Talbot Road/White City Way.

The road closures are all between 8pm and 6am on these dates although it is dependent on the weather.
