en.Wedoany.com Reported - United Utilities has achieved a key milestone in a sewer upgrade in the Eccles area of Salford – the tunnel boring work to install new pipes beneath the road has been successfully completed, and Peel Green Road has reopened to the public.

This new, larger sewer is designed to reduce flood risk in the area. With the first phase of the project complete, subsequent work will focus on connecting the new sewer to the existing network and bringing it into operation. These tasks are expected to be carried out through lane closures later this summer.

United Utilities is investing over £525 million over the next four years through multiple projects to upgrade the resilience of Salford's sewer network and improve water quality. In addition to the Peel Green Road works, plans include upgrading water treatment plants in Salford and Eccles, adding extra storage capacity in the sewer network near Liverpool Road, and implementing a rainwater management scheme in Adelphi Village.

Jim Scholes, Delivery Manager at United Utilities, said that the Peel Green Road works are a vital part of its broader Eccles wastewater treatment plant project. The completion of the tunnel boring activity is significant for the area, helping to reduce flood risk for the local community, and he thanked residents for their patience during the works.
