Traffic delays in city centre as work to install 'windbreaks' underway at Bridgewater Place skyscraper
Motorists travelling in the city centre could face delays as a new scheme to combat notoriously high winds is installed.
Work to install three 'baffles', which aim to slow down wind, is now underway at the Bridgewater Place skyscraper.
The work is expected to take until at least October 22 to complete, and road closures are now in place.

Water Lane is now closed near to Bridgewater Place, at the junction with Neville Street.
A video posted on Twitter shows the first windbreaks being installed at the site today.
