It would link Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne and provide views across the Medlock Valley
Plans for a £5 million bridge between Oldham and Tameside which would stand higher than six double-decker buses have been lodged.
Currently walking and cycling routes between Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne on the national cycle network do not meet Bee Network standards, according to the planning application. The Bee Network, has been designed to improve travel across the city region by encouraging more people to leave their cars at home and use specifically designed safer routes.
The design aims to provide ‘spectacular’ views across the valley and a new access point to the Northern Roots site – planned as the UK’s largest urban farm and eco-park on land at Snipe Clough. The project would also include an upgrade and paving of several hundred metres of an existing part of the Oldham Bardsley recreation route.
It is estimated the scheme would also cut the number of daily car journeys on nearby roads. Currently there are some 22,500 daily car trips on the A627 and 16,900 on the B6194.
