manchestereveningnews.co.ukMotorists in Oldham could face delays as one of the town’s busiest roads is set to close for 11 nights. The Oldham Way will be closed in both directions from Monday, September 9 to Thursday, September 20.
The closure is for drainage and remedial works taking place on Waterloo Street Bridge, which crosses the main road.
