Full closure of Oxford Road between Hathersage Road and Booth Street starts Saturday 22 October
Oxford Road will close in both directions between Hathersage Road and Booth Street from Saturday 22 October to Sunday 30 October (inclusive), to enable further resurfacing to take place.
As well as enabling the work to be carried out safely and efficiently, the full closure will enable the work to be undertaken in a number of locations at once, maximising use of the closure. This will include works at the junctions of Nelson Street, Grafton Street and Dover Street.
Localised pedestrian management on the footway will be in place and full access to all premises by foot will be maintained throughout.
Road users from 22 October
During the work, road users will be advised to follow the on-highway diversion signage that will be in place on adjoining roads.
On this occasion we are using the final scheme map to help drivers. This is because we’re now introducing the permanent restrictions for general traffic between Hathersage Road and Grosvenor Street and so we are encouraging drivers to familiarise themselves now with the changes.

Booth Street
The physical works currently taking place on Booth Street are expected to complete later this month and will go some way to alleviating the traffic congestion experienced since the work began. There will, however, be a need to maintain the temporary traffic signals until the final signals are installed later this year.
Again, we apologise if the work is causing any inconvenience and thank everyone for their continued patience during this time.
Brunswick Street
As you’ll be aware Brunswick Street now has a permanent ‘No Entry’ restriction in place at the junction of Oxford Road. This prohibits all vehicles from turning into Brunswick Street from Oxford Road although access will still be maintained for cycles by means of a bypass lane. Work to implement this change is now underway and requires a temporary full closure of the junction until 22 October.
Bus service diversions during work
All Oxford Road bus services will be affected by the full closure that comes into effect on 22 October and a list of those services, and the locations at which temporary stops will be situated, will be released by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) shortly.
