Multi-million pound Bury Interchange redevelopment work to start
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 14:57 · Archive
Work on a £17.9m redevelopment of Bury Interchange will begin in mid-November, with a new footbridge and platform improvements.
Work on the redevelopment of Bury Interchange will start in mid-November, with the scheme being delivered in two phases. The first phase, costing £17.9m, will see construction of a new footbridge and improvements to tram platforms, expected to be completed in early 2028. Oldham-based company Willmott Dixon has been appointed by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to carry out the work.
The new footbridge will connect Union Square and Pyramid Park, with a new lift providing step-free access to the Metrolink platforms. Canopies will also be replaced, alongside upgrades to lighting, signage, CCTV, passenger information displays and ticket machines. The bridge will allow continued access to the trams during the anticipated demolition of the current interchange and construction of the new one.
TfGM says the redevelopment will make it easier for people to travel on the Bee Network by bus, tram, walking, wheeling or cycling. Trams will continue running to Bury throughout most of the project, although TfGM has warned of some planned disruption to journeys in the future.
