New year joy for motorists as potholed Princess Parkway will be resurfaced - over three weeks
Motorists have welcomed news a long stretch of potholed Princess Parkway in Manchester will be resurfaced in the new year, as council bosses outlined details of the major project.
Now Manchester City Council has revealed resurfacing work will commence on January 9, as road signs advertising the works have gone up at the scene. No temporary traffic lights are planned as yet as it's all dual carriageway, although a council spokesman said: "Final lane arrangements will be determined when we have contractors on site." There will be no night-time works due to proximity of neighbouring apartments and housing, added the council.
"Clearly this a general problem, but for cyclists or motorcyclists it's potentially deadly. Especially when changing lanes, to make a left or right turn for example, you have to run through the potholes and on two wheels, that's the equivalent of getting a wheel trapped in a tramline. The potential to be knocked off balance and into the flowing traffic is increased massively.
