This August, Network Rail is replacing the Greek Street bridge in Stockport, which crosses the Manchester spur of the West Coast Main Line.
The original bridge, constructed in 1958, has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced.
About 400 passenger and 50 freight services pass under the bridge each day. Above the bridge, sits a major roundabout junction in the centre of Stockport, which has been closed since 31 March 2025 to allow engineers to carry out the work safely.
From 2-23 August, engineers will remove the old bridge and replace it with a new one. During this time, there will be no trains through Stockport. Some services will be diverted, and others will be replaced by a bus. Passengers travelling Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and along the West Coast Main Line are advised to plan their journey on the National Enquiries website before they travel during this time.
