Oldham Flyover Closed for Major Repairs | Manchester News
Description
Oldham’s main artery, the Manchester Street Viaduct, is shut down for six weeks—through September 3—for essential $6.5 million repairs, part of a larger 2026 refurbishment. Built in the 70s and neglected since, the aging structure needs waterproofing, joint replacements, and concrete fixes to extend its life. Drivers brace for traffic chaos as officials urge extra travel time and reroute heavy goods vehicles. This costly, necessary fix ensures safety and keeps the highway network running for years to come.
