Warning as three Manchester city centre streets close for two weeks for 'emergency works' - full details
Emergency electricity works are set to cause disruption on three streets in Manchester city centre for the next fortnight.
From Sunday, October 20, Electricity North West are operating around the Shudehill area with road closures in place. Surrounding businesses will remain open.
Road closures will be in effect along Shudehill, Withy Grove and High Street and there will be a single bus stop closure on Corporation Street. Access to the Shudehill bus interchange will not be affected and tram services through the area will remain unaffected.
The council has warned that while it is hoped the works will take two weeks, dates are subject to change. A spokesperson for Manchester City Council said: “We will be working with our partners throughout this period to keep disruption to a minimum.
“During this period we’d urge motorists to think ahead before considering using the road in this section or town, or monitor the situation via our social media pages, as well as TfGM’s. Where possible please use public transport to get into the city centre and avoid potential disruption. We will be grateful for motorists’ patience during the duration of these works.”
