Originally the lane connected Moss Bank Way (A58) to Belmont Road (A675). It became a rat run for motorists avoiding the notoriously busy Astley Bridge junction of the A58, the A675 and the A666 a little further to the east. No doubt to the relief of residents, it has now been made into a cul de sac half way up its length, thus preventing through traffic.
