Tour of Britain Women 2024: All the road closures and parking restrictions across Greater Manchester

A number of road closures will be in place this weekend across Greater Manchester as stage four of the 2024 Tour of Britain Women takes place.

The city-region will welcome some of the biggest names when it comes to women’s cycling as part of the major international race on Sunday (June 9). The 99 km-long route, featuring 1,615m of elevation, will go from the National Cycling Centre in Eastlands to Leigh.

The race will get underway at 11.15am, crossing the Ashton Canal and going through the likes of Oldham, Delph, Shaw, Rochdale and Horwich. It will also feature the ‘Ramsbottom Rake’, which whilst less than a km in length is known for being a ‘formidable’ climb due to its steep 9.9% gradient.
