Information for local businesses and residents

The work programme will include a period of preliminary work. This work will be conducted overnight prior to the main works taking place, following the end of tram services. This work is required to prepare the current rails which are to be replaced. This will include sawing along the tracks, which may be noisy. From the 12th of April, the work will be carried out to replace the rails and this will take place both day and night.

It's important that we try to minimise disturbance as much as possible. We'll aim to carry out the noisiest work during the day to minimise disturbance to residents, but some noise may still be experienced overnight. 

Middle Hill will remain closed, but access to Weekday Cross and Fletcher Gate, including vehicle access for deliveries to local businesses, will remain via Hollow Stone and High Pavement. Please note, there will be no southbound traffic from the Lace Market area and vehicles will only be able to access Weekday Cross and Fletcher Gate travelling northbound from High Pavement. Please refer to the road diversions above.
