Major roadworks are being ramped up across Manchester with traffic levels plummeting by more than two thirds during the coronavirus lockdown.
It is ‘business as usual’ for the council highways teams, which has taken advantage of the quieter roads by filling potholes and fixing pavements.
Staff also helped with the opening of the city’s Nightingale Hospital by repairing surrounding roads and leaving some unique road markings in honour of NHS workers.
Work is progressing on larger infrastructural projects including the controversial £9.1 million reworking of Great Ancoats Street and the new £13 million Chorlton Cycleway.
