Grey Street improvement works

As part of our project to transform the city centre, improvement works on Grey Street are well underway and due to complete later in 2024.

As we enter the final few months of the programme, here is an update of the works:

We have started the construction of the loading bays and rain gardens to the east side of the street, working from the south to the north.
Early completion of the Mosley Street and Grey Street junction improvements has improved the pedestrian facilities.
New lighting columns have been installed on the west side of Grey Street between High Bridge and Mosley Street. They are now positioned in more suitable locations, at the edge of the pavement.

Access will be maintained for people:
