Vital resurfacing works are due to take place along Ashton New Road as Manchester City Council continues its work to act on residents’ priorities.
When we went out and asked Mancunians what their priorities were the Council was told loud and clear that improved roads were high on many people’s lists.
This is why over the first few months of 2025 a programme of resurfacing works have been taking place along some of Manchester’s most-used roads.
From Monday, March 17 works will begin to resurface Ashton NewRoad between Alan Turing Way and Clayton Lane.
These works are expected to take two weeks, weather permitting, and will take place overnight to minimise disruption to nearby residents and businesses, with the road being closed between the hours of 7pm to 5am.
Work will take place Monday to Friday, with no closures taking place during the weekend.
A signposted diversion route will be in place during operational hours, with more details available on our website here.
Marshalls will be on hand to ensure there is continued access for residents maintained via Clayton Lane, Wilson Street, Alan Turing Way, Ravensbury Street, and Clayton Street.
Councillor Tracey Rawlins, Executive Member for Clean Air, Environment and Transport said: “We are continuing at pace our 2025 programme of resurfacing across Manchester, putting in place much-needed improvements to ensure our road network is up to standard.
“While there will be some disruption during the course of these works the Council and its contractor will endeavour to keep delays to a minimum as well as working during off-peak hours to keep the road open during busy periods.
“I’d like to thank people ahead of time for their patience during this short period of disruption.”
