Tyldesley Loopline is a two kilometre long cycling and walking route. It connects to the multi user path along the new guided busway in the west and Roe Green Loopline in the east.
Improvements were completed in June 2017 providing a high quality, traffic-free route for the community to enjoy.
The improvements included:
The creation of a three metre wide shared use path made from 50% recycled tyres
A new surfaced route through Bedford Fields
Entrances accessible to all users including cyclists, wheelchair and mobility scooter users
New signs
Bins at entrance points
New seating
Upgraded access points including refurbished steps and new handrails
Vegetation and tree clearance where necessary to accommodate the route
Replacement tree planting where possible
Prickly bushes where needed to provide more security for residents whose houses back onto the route
Significant drainage improvements to ensure the route is dry all year round. Works include raising the path level and the creation of swales and wetland areas to hold excess water.
Refurbished subway under the East Lancs including new lighting
