To remove a pinch point in traffic flow on the A57 Hyde Road, where the carriageway is reduced in width from 2 lanes in either direction to one lane where it runs under a disused railway bridge.  The project will see the width of the carriageway increased  to accommodate two lanes of traffic flow in both directions, future provision for cyclists and a new bridge to carry the footpath that runs along the disused railway line.

To enable the scheme to be delivered 4 pieces of land are required.  Negotiations have been successful with 3 of the landowners but it has become necessary to start a CPO for the final piece of land.
