Supertram says the use of saw cutters, concrete breakers and other equipment means the work will be noisy at times.

Work to remove and replace the worn rails will take place between 11pm on Wednesday, June 1 and 5am on Monday, June 6, with local road closures and diversions in place during this period.

Post-installation work is scheduled between 11.30pm on Monday, June 6 and 5am on Thursday, June 9, but will only take place between 11.30pm and 5am on these dates. This is for the completion of concrete and polymer repairs, if required.

People with any concerns about the impact of the work, while it is taking place, are asked to liaise with the site supervisor. Alternatively, they can contact VolkerRail, the contractor carrying out the works on Supertram’s behalf, directly via its 24-hour control centre on 01302 791187.
