An Oldham town centre bus link is to be closed for approximately six months amid roadworks.
The road linking Cheapside and West Street bus stations is set to be closed as works to improve active travel in the town centre take place.
Services will run from both stations in a circular route.
Buses normally entering Cheapside via West Street will now enter the bus station via Rochdale Road and then St Marys Way, going to the stand and exiting back out via St Marys Way.
A no-left turn restriction at Cheapside bus station will also be removed to help bus movements.
For some services stands may have changed, the council has warned.
Works taking place include the construction of a new cycleway into the town centre and updated pavements, as well as rain gardens and tree planting.
