Additional information for residents in the area of the works
The nature of this work requires the use of saw cutters, concrete breakers and other types of equipment and will be noisy at times. This work also requires the tramway to be closed along this section for the duration of the works and localised pedestrian diversions will be necessary.
Our ongoing maintenance programmes are critical to extend the lifespan of our city’s tram network, maintaining the reliable, comfortable and safe level of service Supertram customers have come to expect.
