CYCLE lanes are being introduced in Walmersley Road, Bury, to protect cyclists in rush-hour traffic.

The lane will be painted on a northbound section between Springside Road and the M66 slip road and on a southbound section between the motorway slip road and Walmersley Old Road.

It will be active on weekdays from 7.30am to 9.30am and from 3pm to 6.30pm.
