Crossroads at Sudden
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 28 Jan 2010
Although still (January 2010) marked on the OS map as a roundabout, the intersection of Edinburgh Way (the A664, leading to the A627M and M62 motorways) with Manchester Road (the A58 to Rochdale, Manchester, Bury and Bolton) and Roch Valley Way (B6452 to Blackburn) has been re-designed. The Sudden Roundabouts were two of the busiest junctions in Rochdale, often affected by congestion and delays, particularly during the morning and afternoon peaks. http://www.theimpactpartnership.com/File.ashx?id=Case%20studies/Sudden%20Roundabouts.pdf http://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/councillor-diaries/531/an-apology-from-councillor-greg-couzens-cabinet-member-for-highways This view is looking across the junction from Roch Valley Way towards Edinburgh Way. Manchester Road crosses from left to right.
