B5117 is the number allocated to the southern end of Oxford Road and the northern end of Wilmslow Road to the south of Manchester city centre.
The road starts in the northern side of the main campus of Manchester University and heads south through the campus, which includes a tunnel between two of the buildings. After passing Whitworth Park and meeting the B5219 at traffic lights the road runs along Rusholme's Curry Mile to end on the A6010.
Originally numbered A526 before becoming part of the extended A34 in 1935, it gained its present number in the 1970s.
