About the Carrington Relief Road project

Part of: Carrington Relief Road

Contents

The world as we know it is changing, and to prepare us all for a brighter future we must re-think the way we travel. 

The current route via the A6144 and Manchester Road is heavily congested by both cars and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Affecting the lives and journey times of people living in the area.

To provide easier and safer journeys, Carrington Relief Road will provide:

  • a new convenient route (Option F) to encourage HGVs to divert away from the congested A6144
  • deliver improvements to make travelling by bus easier and safer
  • provide new routes to enjoy when travelling by foot, bike and horse.

A combination of travel improvements that will open opportunities to accessing local jobs and new homes. Improving access to both local businesses and new developments in the area.

New active travel routes

Whilst appreciating the beauty and importance of Carrington Moss, new routes for walking, cycling and horse riding will be provided. Opening green spaces with new routes to be enjoyed. 

Supporting active lifestyle choices and improving people’s health and wellbeing. A green space for local people to enjoy and be proud of.

We look forward to sharing more information on how the moss will be cared for in 2023.
