Supertram Network Improvements

Essential engineering works are planned on Netherthorpe Road from Sunday 09 February to Wednesday 19 March.

There will be no impact on tram services.

These works, to replace worn rails on the ballasted sections of the network, are one element of a multi-million-pound investment in the tram system and part of SYMCA’s ongoing investment in Supertram, critical to extend the lifespan of one the region’s best loved modes of transport. The new rail will give passengers a better travel experience by improving comfort, reducing noise in areas where tracks are currently worn, and reducing the risk of unplanned closures on the network.

We will be carrying out the works as follows:

• Sunday 09 February to Thursday 13 February (23:59 to 05:00 each night)
• Sunday 02 March to Thursday 06 March (23:59 to 05:00 each night)
• Monday 10 March to Thursday 13 March (23:59 to 05:00 each night)
• Sunday 16 March to Wednesday 19 March (23:59 to 05:00 each night)

Unfortunately the nature of these works will generate noise. Our contractor VolkerRail will endeavour to reduce the noise as much as possible and apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disturbance this may cause.

Letters have been posted to all affected local residents and businesses advising them of the programme of works. Copies of this information can be requested by contacting Traveline.

Essential engineering works are planned on Park Grange Road, between Arbourthorne Road and St Aidans Road, from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 March.

These works were due to take place from 15 to 17 March (and previously 08 to 10 March), but were unable to be completed due to issues with welding resources.

There will be no impact on tram services.

We will be carrying out the works as follows:

• Friday 21 March: 23:00 to 05:00
• Saturday 22 March: 23:00 to 07:00
• Sunday 23 March: 23:00 to 05:00

These works are to repair a section of embedded rail which has been damaged by the recent sub-zero temperatures and subsequent variations in temperature. The nature of these works requires the use of concrete cutting saws, concrete breakers, and other tools which will unfortunately generate noise. We will endeavour to reduce the noise as much as possible and apologise in advance for any inconvenience and disturbance that this may cause.

We will be working overnight when traffic is at a reduced level to ensure that we can work safely. Traffic management will also be in place.

Letters have been posted to all affected local residents and businesses advising them of the programme of works. Copies of this information can be requested by contacting Traveline.
