NET track works: 29 April - 10 May
Tram in Old Market Square

NET will begin work to replace tram tracks on the Lace Market curve this Thursday, 29 April. This section of track, including the Lace Market tram stop, will be closed for the duration of the works, reopening on Tuesday 11 May.

The works were initially scheduled to take place this summer, but have been brought forward ahead of the further easing of Covid-19 restrictions, to minimise disruption to local businesses, passengers and visitors.

Alternatively, it is approximately a 10-15 minute walk between the two stops.

Track works map________________________________________________________________________

Why is this work needed?

Track at the corner of Fletcher Gate and Victoria Street ? believed to be one of the sharpest bends on a UK tram system - will be replaced to ensure tram services can continue to be provided safely and reliably.

The tracks for the first line of the tram network were laid more than 17 years ago, with services running on them since March 2004. Track replacement is a standard part of tram network maintenance, and some other older sections of the system have already been replaced.
