A £1m project to restore Stockport Viaduct to its former glory is set to finish in March, with the M60 closing for 13 nights.
Network Rail started work at the grade II-listed structure last year, which involved removing overgrowing vegetation, cleaning graffiti, and carrying out repairs to the viaduct’s 11 million bricks.
So far, 23 of the viaduct’s 26 arches have been repaired, but engineers plan to abseil down the 550-metre long, 34-metre tall structure to finish the job.
This will take place from February 17 until March 2, when the M60 will close between J27 and J1 in both directions with overnight closures between 10pm and 6am.
