Part of Oxford Road will be closed from Monday 16 May to Sunday 5 June inclusive for demolition works at Alliance Manchester Business School.

The road will be closed to through traffic for a three week period between the junctions of Oxford Road with Hathersage Road and Booth Street West/East. Access will still be available for vehicles on University business or with other local businesses. Pedestrian access will be restricted near the demolition zone and will be diverted alongside Crawford House. Alternative pedestrian routes will be signposted at appropriate points on Oxford Road.

There will be no cycle access alongside Crawford House. Alternative cycle routes will be signposted at appropriate points on Oxford Road directing cyclists towards Higher Cambridge Street/Booth Street West and Upper Brook Street/Booth Street East.

Following on from the road closure, there will be a lane closure in place (in the direction of Manchester City Centre) for around 14 months from 6 June 2016 to 31 July 2017. This lane closure allows the end of the Precinct to be reconstructed in steel and glass to form an impressive new frontage on to Oxford Road.
