The closure of a busy city centre street is expected to cause traffic problems on Monday morning, with buses and the Metroshuttle set to be affected after a manhole collapsed.

Police shut Withy Grove outside Tiger Tiger at the Printworks on Saturday evening after a manhole appeared to be sinking in the road.

Manchester council said officials would be assessing the damage on Monday morning and could not say when the road would be reopened.

Coun Kate Chappell, Manchester council’s executive member for environment, said: “Withy Grove will be closed between Dantzic Street and Corporation Street due to a depression in the road surrounding a manhole cover.

“The road will remain closed into Monday when a survey of the site can be done that will establish the cause of the issue and the work required to address it.”

A Transport for Greater Manchester spokesman confirmed a number of bus routes will be affected by the road closure.

GMP City Centre tweeted on Saturday night: “Road closure alert - we’re putting closures on Withy Grove (outside Tiger Tiger) as grid appears to be sinking in middle of road.”

They later tweeted Withy Grove would be closed between Corporation Street and Garden Street so the hole could be assessed.

The road remains closed in both directions between Fennell Street, Corporation Street and Shudehill.

People took to Twitter to vent their frustration over the number of holes opening up in the city centre recently.

Emma Hardman posted: “There’s a hole appearing on Stretford Rd too. Is the whole city sinking?”

Mike Mesrie tweeted: “Driving round Manchester is not possible. #Roadworkcity.”

Another user joked: “Tis the start of the Rapture...”

Karen Bamber wrote: “What’s going on at all with these roads...someone must know what’s happening.”

It comes after another crater appeared on Great Bridgewater Street during the Conservative party conference and a 40ft hole appeared on the Mancunian Way in August.
