Over the next month the Mancunian Way is due to undergo resurfacing works, bringing much-needed improvements to one of the most-used roads in the city.
With an estimated 15 million journeys taken along this road annually it’s vital that necessary maintenance is carried out to keep traffic flowing.
Plans are now in place to resurface the Mancunian Way overnight during a four-week period, beginning from Monday, March 3.
The work will be split into two sections starting with the eastbound carriageway, before moving on to the westbound lane; eastbound will run from River Street to Fairfield Street, and westbound from Fairfield Street to Upper Brook Street.
Work along the eastbound section – in the direction of Ashton Old Road – will run between Monday 3 March, to Friday 14 March. Operating hours will be between 7pm and 5am during which the carriageway will be fully closed.
Due to events taking place during this period of works, slightly later road closures will be in place from 7.30pm on the 7th, 10th and 14th of March.
No work will take place Europa League fixture dates, or on Saturday or Sunday nights.
Signed diversions will be in place during the course of the works, details of which can be found here on our dedicated webpage.
Once the eastbound works are complete the westbound – in the direction of Regent Road – will follow. This will take place overnight between Monday 17 March until Friday 28 March.
As with the eastbound, closures will be between 7pm and 5am, except on the evening of March 19, when the closure will start at 7.30pm due to an event.
