'There's a constant whine of beeps soundtracking this whole sorry experience, as Manchester motorists let their horns express their disgust at the situation.'
The sound of honking horns are ringing in my ears, taxi drivers are cutting up skirting the pavement and I've been stuck at the same set of traffic lights for four consecutive green lights without being able to budge an inch.
There has been congestion on this section of road, and the surrounding routes like Quay Street, for months now. It has become Manchester's chaos corridor. I finally crawl down towards the crossroads at Quay Street and Peter Street and that's where the chaos really begins. Taxis start scraping past me to try and get down the side streets, or to jump the queue to try and get through the lights here.
For the next four weeks they're going to be closing Chester Road at the Bridgewater viaduct. For those drivers who manage to negotiate the rest of Deansgate from Monday you'll be forced to turn left onto the single lane Deansgate Locks. But I genuinely can't see how the completion of this work is going to look any better, or ease the flow of traffic in any way shape or form either.
I've been travelling into Manchester for the past 20-odd years for work and evening functions, and I always used to come in by train. But over the past couple of years it feels almost inevitable that if I get a train into town of an evening, my last train home will be cancelled.
