The diversion route will take them via Wilshaw Lane, Broadoak Road and Henrietta Street, not to sure whether they'll be any timetable changes to take in the diversion route to the above services

that isnt official yet afaik there was talk from pioneer of diversion being turner lane and boodle street back on to oldham road (so only closing ikea bus stop rather than 3/4) and also for 419s tuner lane lordsfield ave onto cranbourne rd back onto om rd (missing two bus stops) but nothing was official as awaiting bus test results this week which i was supposed to do but couldnt

Apparently there are still meetings going between First/TFGM and Tameside council regarding the diversion. It seems First feel that subsidised services might be affected during the roadworks so no doubt they will get paid extra money to run the 419/41 to the diversion.
