Part of a busy road in Salford will close for six months as part of a major regeneration project.

Frederick Road is set to shut between Lissadel Street and Leslie Hough Way from 12 July.

The closure is due to the construction of Salford Rise - a 721ft (220m) elevated walkway which will provide a traffic-free route across the city.

A diversion will be in place with drivers directed down Lissadel Street, Cromwell Road, Gerald Road and Seaford Road, while pedestrians can walk up Broughton Road East.

Parking restrictions will also be in place on Lissadel Street and Broughton Road East.

Salford Rise is a project to get more people walking and cycling around the city by creating a new link over Frederick Road to the University of Salford's campus.

Work started on the scheme in September 2024 and is set to finish next summer.

It is part of the £2.5bn Crescent Salford project, a 240-acre masterplan to transform part of Salford city centre with more than 3,000 new homes and buildings for research and businesses.
