From 4 March until 13 May, as part of phase two of the improvements scheme on Trinity Way and Irwell Street, Irwell Street will be closed towards the city centre.
Whilst Irwell Street is closed towards the city centre, there will be a signposted diversion via Chapel Street, Bridge Street and Deansgate. Take a look at our map below for more details.
As a result of diverted traffic, we are anticipating delays on surrounding routes, particularly Chapel Street, Bridge Street and Liverpool Road.
About the scheme
Salford City Council are committed to supporting the improvement of neighbourhoods around the district to ensure that everyone can get on and get around easily.
The scheme supports cycle and pedestrian movements by providing new and improved facilities on the Irwell Street approach to Trinity Way. These connections are also designed to link up with existing routes and future plans for the Bee Network in Salford and Manchester.
There will be phases of planned roadworks to improve the junction between Trinity Way and Irwell Street.
Monday 4 March to Monday 13 May
One way closure on Irwell Street for traffic heading from Salford to Manchester. Traffic heading from Manchester towards Salford is unaffected. No turn onto Irwell Street Manchester-bound from Stanley Street.
Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 May (9pm to 6am)
Between 9pm and 6am each night, the Trinity Way / Irwell Street junction will be closed. This means that there will be no access to Irwell Street, and Trinity Way will be closed beyond Gore Street in a city centre-bound direction.
During the closure, signed diversions will be in place and dependent on the direction that you are coming from:
- From Chapel Street/anti-clockwise on Trinity Way: Chapel Street, Bridge Street, Deansgate, Bridgewater Viaduct, Chester Road roundabout, Mancunian Way with the diversion ending at Trinity Way.
- From the city centre via Quay Street: traffic will be signed from Deansgate to follow the above route.
Access to the New Bailey NCP car park will be maintained and marshalled.

Irwell Street (Salford-bound) will be closed from 9pm until midnight for resurfacing. Traffic towards Salford will be diverted via Deansgate, and Trinity Way will remain open.
Irwell Street in the city centre-bound direction will remain closed during the day until 13 May.
