Mumps Roundabout was a junction of the A62, the A669 and the B6477 in Oldham. It is at the eastern end of Oldham Way, the town's inner relief road.
The roundabout originally comprised of two bridges over the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale railway, which had its main station for Oldham at The Mumps. The northern bridge was demolished in August 2010 as part of plans to convert the railway to a Metrolink tram line which will cross the roundabout at grade. The other bridge was later demolished in order to convert the roundabout into a signalised crossroads, with the former B6477 now a buses-only link.
