The Mancunian Way will close for two days while its annual safety inspection takes place.
Both carriageways and slip roads will be closed from 6am on Saturday 27 June until the early hours of Monday 29 June.
The closure will run from the Chester Road roundabout and Fairfield Street.
This closure is vital so that essential safety and maintenance checks can be carried out on what is one of the busiest roads in Manchester.
Fully signed diversions will be in place during this time for vehicles travelling in both directions.
Diversion routes are planned for:
- Trinity Way, Great Ancoats Street.
- Bridgewater Viaduct, Whitworth Street West, Whitworth Street, and Fairfield Street
Councillor Mandie Shilton Godwin, Executive Member for Clean Air, Environment and Transport, said:
“Because of the tens of thousands of vehicles we see use the Mancunian Way every day, ensuring its proper maintenance and upkeep is essential. Not only to keep traffic flowing, but to keep drivers safe.
“There will be a level of disruption which is why we’d urge people to plan their journeys ahead and find an alternative route which avoids the closure.
“Thank you to everyone ahead of your patience as we carry out these essential works.”
