From Saturday 22 June to Tuesday 9 July, work will take place on London Road - close to Piccadilly Station.
During this time, no trams will operate between Piccadilly and Piccadilly Gardens.
Trams on the Ashton line will operate between Ashton and Piccadilly Station – passengers wanting to make an onward journey will need to connect with other tram services at Piccadilly Gardens.
Trams on the Altrincham/Bury lines will not be serving Piccadilly and will instead travel directly between Altrincham and Bury.
A signed walking route, taking around five minutes, will be put in place between the two stops and a bus replacement service will operate between Piccadilly and Piccadilly Gardens.
Please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journeys while these essential Metrolink renewal works takes place.
