Dear All,
As you know, work is underway to build the new Metrolink line from Manchester Piccadilly to Droylsden (the East Manchester line).
You may have noticed the work taking place on the Southern side of Manchester Road, around Droylsden Library. This work is to enable the road to be made wider to accommodate the Metrolink.
On Sunday June 28th, a new footbridge will be lifted into place alongside the existing bridge outside Droylsden Library. The work will take place between 7am and 5pm and will involve narrowing Manchester Road to one lane each way in front of the Library.
Please find attached a copy of the letter GMPTE is sending to nearly 100 residents and businesses to advise them of the work as well as a map showing the letter distribution area.

You should have been receiving information from us about work to replace the tram track and tramway surfaces in the city centre, including notification that the Dantzic Street / Balloon Street junction was due to be closed from 7pm on Friday 19 June to 6am on Monday 22 June.
This closure will now not take place this weekend as anticipated. This is because as the project is progressing, we are looking at options for how we can combine work at this junction with other work at the Shudehill stop / Shudehill area to minimise any disruption.
Please find attached a copy of the letter GMPTE has sent to over 200 residents and businesses to advise them of this as well as a map showing the letter distribution area.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

You may be aware that GMPTE is currently planning to close the Metrolink line between Manchester and Altrincham during August. This is so we can replace the overhead cables and ageing equipment to make sure we can maintain services in the future.
We have recently carried out some Ground Investigations between Altrincham Railway Station and Timperley. Following these investigations, we need to do some further work before the main work starts in August between these stops. This will involve overnight working. Over the next three weeks, this will take place on the following nights:
-
- From 11.00pm Saturday 6 June to 10.30am Sunday 7 June
- From 11.00pm Saturday 13 June to10.30am Sunday 14 June
- From 11.00pm Saturday 20 June to10.30am Sunday 21 June
Please find attached a copy of the letter GMPTE sent to over 300 residents along the section of the line where this work will take place as well as a map showing the letter distribution area.
As the details for the main work in August are confirmed, we will implement a full information campaign for passengers and local residents. This will include details of the replacement travel arrangements being made available.
If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact me.
