A section of the busy Manchester ringroad, the Mancunian Way, will close overnight this evening for 'urgent' safety repair works.
One lane going in each direction on the highway will be closed to all vehicular traffic from 8pm on Monday evening (November 14). Both lanes will reopen at 5am on Tuesday morning (November 15).
Manchester City Council say the closure is necessary to make 'urgent safety repairs' to the barriers on the road, which runs through Manchester city centre.
