COMMUTERS have blasted new roadworks that have appeared on one of the city centre's busiest roads.
The roadworks on Deansgate, which reduce one part of the busy road to just a narrow lane past Spinningfields, have been criticised by drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
Commuters have hit out at traffic lights that 'only let two cars at a time through, cycle lanes that are blocked by road signs, and pedestrians 'darting out across the road.'
It comes after parts of the city centre street have been drastically refurbished following the pandemic.
Stretches of the road have already had widened bike lanes put in place, and a bus lane has opened at the junction of Blackfriars Street and Deansgate for southbound buses, taxis and bicycles.
But some road users say current roadworks, which are understood to be a mixture of council and third-party works, are causing the road more harm than good.
