To facilitate the next phase of these works, temporary traffic signals are now in place on Sinderland Road and Barrington Road at their junctions with A56 Manchester Road.
Lane closures are in place on A56 Manchester Road, though the road will be open to two-way traffic.
If you're travelling in the area, please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey or consider using an alternative route.
If you are travelling by car between Altrincham and Sale, Stretford, Old Trafford and Manchester City Centre consider travelling via A5103 Princess Parkway as it maybe quicker.
