Starting in early 2009, we will be carrying out work to move any existing utilities, such as gas, water, electricity and telecommunications, away from the route of the new tram line. We need to do this to make sure that the utility pipes and cables are not damaged during the construction and operation of the new line. This will also mean that tram services are not held up when utilities are maintained or replaced in the future.
The work will involve some temporary road closures at certain locations. We are working closely with the utility companies and local authorities to co-ordinate and plan this work to minimise the impact on the local area.
