£1.2m investment in Castlefield to upgrade power network

As part of our ongoing network upgrades, we’re investing £1.2m to replace and install 2.2km of underground electricity cables from the Knott Mill electricity substation on Rice Street to Water Street, extending to substations in Salford

The work will take approximately 12-18 months starting on Monday 10 August 2020.

  • Engineers will carry out work on Hampson Street, Trinity Way, Water Street, Duke Street, Liverpool Road and Rice Street in phases.
  • Roads will remain open as much as possible and in some instances, temporary traffic lights will be used on Rice Street, Dale Street, Liverpool Road and Water Street so engineers can work safely.
  • Where possible, we will look to maintain access to residential properties and car parks.
  • The work will not affect your electricity supply, but if we do need to remove power for any reason we will let you know in advance.
  • The work will be undertaken in stages with multiple excavations, particularly on Rice Street to allow this complicated engineering project to be completed

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support to allow us to carry out this work safely.
