Road closures in the event of Manchester United Champions League victory parade
Published Tuesday 26th May 09 in Travel and roads news

Manchester motorists are advised that there will be a number of road closures in the city centre on Thursday 28 May for the proposed Manchester United Victory Parade.

The Parade will go ahead if Manchester United beat rivals Barcelona in the final of the UEFA Champions League in Rome on Wednesday night.

But if Manchester United do not win, the Parade and road closures will not take place.

If Manchester United do win, the majority of the closures in Manchester city centre will start from 6am on Thursday, but there will be others during the day, some of which are subject to crowd numbers. However, all the restrictions will be over by 10pm.

People are encouraged to use public transport on the day of the parade and to allow additional time for their journeys to and from the city centre. One of the best ways to drive out of the city centre is to go via Albion Street and Medlock St (towards Princess Road) and then use the Mancunian Way.

As an overview for drivers and bus passengers the main points to note are:

Princess Street (at the side of the Town Hall) and Albert Square will be closed to through traffic from 6am;
No access to side roads from Deansgate between John Dalton Street and Chester Road roundabout at various times, starting from 12 noon;
Chester Road roundabout will be closed including the slip roads going onto and off the Mancunian Way from 3pm;
There will be vehicle access across Deansgate via Gt Bridgewater St and Liverpool Rd until as late as possible (approximately 3pm).
The following is a list of the road closures in detail:

Closures from 6am - 10pm:
Mount St, from Princess St to Lloyd St
Bootle St, from Southmill St to Mount St

In addition, all the slip roads on and off the Mancunian way will be closed from 6am, but the road will still be open to traffic.

Closures from 10am -10pm:

John Dalton St, from Deansgate to Cross St

Closures from 3pm - 10pm:

Chester Rd, from Bridgewater Viaduct to Chester Rd in Trafford

Change in traffic regulations
In addition to the closures above, there will be a change in traffic regulations between 6am and 10pm on St Ann St between Deansgate and Cross St so that all general traffic can use the street.

Drivers in the city centre on Thursday are asked to plan their routes with the closures in mind or, alternatively, to use public transport if possible. The closures may also change depending on crowd numbers on the day.

Does anyone live/work on the route who would be able to get a "Manchester 100 years United free" banner hanging from it?

Gutted, I used to have a flat on the corner of Princess Street / Whitworth Street above O'Sheas pub, should've stayed on for another 6 months!

That doesn't bother me. If they get beat and have a parade I might even stay in work and pop along afterwards

Just so we can all come out in our FC Barcelona Supporters' Club t-shirts to take the piss? That's very thoughtful and accommodating of them.
