Heavy Lifting, Heavy Work Around Manchester City (ManCity) Stadium
Filed under: 
here is work underway paving the scenic walkway leading up to the ManCity stadium. They’re laying down tiles or brick-like structures on what used to be bland blue paint on concrete. As a result, it’s unavailable for passage. Across the walkway, and over the bridge that crosses the Ashton Canal, there’s the venue that comes back to life on Sunday (Joji) after a very long hiatus on the same day ManCity is “back in action” (not a friendly match but Community Shield).
The expansion of the ManCity stadium and the works associated with improving the area seem almost complete. It probably will take several more months to clear things up and start opening shops. Less cranes, fewer heavy vehicles, almost no noise.
There are other plans for the “Sport City” of ManCity. Italian links aside, there’s “Mamma Mia!”
