Deansgate will close this Saturday 16 May from King Street to St Mary’s Gate.
The initiative is to help support Manchester’s recovery period, and is the first phase towards a proposed permanent road closure that would help meet urgent climate change and air quality targets.
The immediate shutting of this section of road is part of a number of measures being considered to help with social distancing in the months ahead, including widening pavements and use of public spaces.
