The Mancunian Way

It snakes along the southern fringe of Manchester city centre, carrying thousands of vehicles every day. It was completed in 1967, extended in 1992, has a quintessentially Manchester name chosen by a member of the public, and like much of the rest of Manchester, it's grey, grimy and flawed but interesting: It's the Mancunian Way, once dubbed Manchester's 'Highway in the Sky'.

The pedestrian underpass under Brook St beneath the Mancunian Way is strewn with rubbish and broken bottles and is covered in graffiti. This location is just two minutes walk from the BBC and forms part of the pedestrian links between the north and south campuses of the unified Manchester University.
