Oldham Viaduct Shutdown Alert | Manchester News

Oldham’s Manchester Street Viaduct is shutting down completely for critical repairs — both directions of the A62 will be closed from July 19 to September 3. Built in the 70s and long overdue for maintenance, the viaduct needs waterproofing, joint replacements, concrete fixes, and resurfacing — all part of a $6.5 million project set to finish by December next year. With only one lane open now, drivers brace for major delays as crews tackle essential structural work to ensure the bridge lasts for decades. Plan ahead — this is a necessary step to keep the roads safe and functional for the long haul. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
