The new link bridge opened to vehicles yesterday (Sunday) and now guides traffic travelling to Copley and Sowerby Bridge down from the A629 to the new roundabout on Stainland Road.

It also allows traffic from Copley and Sowerby Bridge to enter the A629 from the roundabout on Stainland Road.

Not all lanes are open yet.
