Roadworks are taking place across Greater Manchester this week, with drivers warned to expect delays on several key routes. The works include emergency repairs, gas main work, electricity work, and water main work, as well as longer-term projects.
A 2025 parliamentary transport committee report noted that roadworks can be a source of frustration, causing congestion and delays that harm the economy, disrupt transport services, and limit access to high streets and businesses. Full details are available on Transport for Greater Manchester's website.
