Transport bosses have issued an urgent weekend warning as congestion in the centre of Manchester is 'expected on the roads at all times' on Saturday and Sunday.
Major Metrolink engineering will take place combined with roadworks and road closures, two huge concerts at Manchester Arena and Manchester United playing at home. Some buses, said Transport for Greater Manchester, are likely to run on different routes in the city centre due to the planned road closures.
Due to Metrolink engineering works, no trams will run to Shudehill, Market Street or Piccadilly Gardens over the weekend. Services will operate via St Peter's Square and Exchange Square instead. Trams on the Ashton and Eccles lines, meanwhile, will run to Piccadilly and Cornbrook respectively, with replacement buses running between Cornbrook and Piccadilly and between Victoria and Piccadilly.
