The Department for Transport said the investment would improve the punctuality and reliability for trains going between Manchester, Leeds and York.
More than 100 trains cross the route every day, making it one of the busiest stretches of track in the region according to the department of transport. The planned works will make journeys faster by improving connectivity.
But first, it will create some delays. Services will be disrupted between Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge/Rochdale between 31 July and 15 August. During that time, those travelling between Leeds and Manchester will have to arrive and depart from Manchester Piccadilly.
The service disruption will allow for intensive repairs, including refurbishing and strengthening the Dantzic Street underbridge in Manchester. Other bridges being upgraded during that time will be Queens Road in Miles Platting, Bromley Street subway, Oldham Road and Stamford Street in Ashton.
