Access to platforms 1 and 2 will be maintained from the station main entrance on its western side.
The alternative route for traffic from the western end of the closure will be: from point A, along the footbridge, head west along Public Footpath 403 (Salfords & Sidlow), then turn right into Southern Avenue and continue for about 225 metres in a north-westerly direction, then turn right and follow Honeycrock Lane in a generally easterly direction for about 225 metres, then turn right and follow BOAT 401 (Salfords & Sidlow) in a south-easterly direction for about 180 metres, until you reach point B.
