ā”ļø Phase 3 will see Ashton Old Road closed (towards Ashton) from 7pm to 6am between Whitehurst Drive and Mill Street from Wednesday 15 October to Monday 26 October. It will be closed at the same locations, and at the same times, but in the direction of Manchester as well from Sunday 18 October to Friday 23 October.
Combined with the ongoing Great Ancoats Street major works it is advised to re-route your journey.
ā Drivers heading from South Manchester (including Mancunian Way eastbound traffic) should use A57 Hyde Road and A6010 Alan Turing Way to rejoin Ashton Old Road. Drivers from North Manchester should avoid the Great Ancoats Street area and use A6010 Alan Turing Way (you can join Alan Turing Way from several locations including Rochdale Road and Oldham Road) to reach Ashton Old Road.
ā° In the last week road users have been making cross-city trips via the City Centre. A lot of these journeys would be quicker via Alan Turing Way - or if travelling further afield via the M60. This may be further to travel in miles, but it will save time behind the wheel (and help keep everyone moving!).
Local and shorter trips in the area may be quicker (and healthier) by cycling š“ & walking š¶
Alternative travel
Public transport is safe to use, however please consider active travel options such as cycling and walking especially for shorter journeys.
Metrolink š
On weekdays, all Metrolink lines will run at a 10-minute frequency until 7pm when they will then operate every 20 minutes.
