Temporary traffic lights on Wilmslow Road could last until January 2027, as roadworks continue across Greater Manchester on key A and B roads in nearly every area. Street works are carried out for reasons including road changes, emergency repairs, and utility company work. A 2025 parliamentary transport committee report noted: “They can also be a source of frustration for anyone trying to get around on roads and pavements by causing congestion and delays that harm the economy, disrupt transport services and limit access to high streets and businesses.” Drivers should check Transport for Greater Manchester’s website for full information.
