The annual closure of the Mancunian Way will be rescheduled to the weekend of Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 March it has been announced.
The closure will be in place from 5am on the Saturday morning through to 7pm on the Sunday evening.
The weekend of the 19 and 20 March was originally considered for the maintenance closure but was ruled out as City were due to play at home. However, following the change of fixtures this weekend now offers the least disruption to road users and the Mancunian Way will be open to vehicles this coming weekend, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March.
The closure will allow essential work to take place to keep the bridge safe and will be in place from Chester Road roundabout through to Pin Mill Brow.
The work will include safety inspections, road repairs, lighting inspections, street sweeping, drainage clearance, and general work to improve any defects. The overall integrity of the structure will also be assessed.
Signed diversions will be in place for the duration of the closure, however it’s important to plan ahead and familiarise yourself with the recommended diversion routes.
For journeys through the city centre, especially for west to east and east to west trips, it is recommended that motorists use the M60.
