The next stage of Supertram network improvements are happening over this weekend in Sheffield.
It's part of a 110 million pound investment.
Some bus replacements will be in place.
Melanie Corcoran, SYMCA’s Executive Director of Transport, said:
“By scheduling the works over the weekend, when the tram network is quieter, we aim to keep disruption to passengers and road users to a minimum.
“The rail replacement works at Waterthorpe are the fourth phase of upgrades this year, following successful work completed over Easter and the Bank Holidays in May.
“Our on-going multi-million-pound investment in Supertram is essential to extending the life of the network – making sure this busy service remains safe and reliable for the millions of passengers who use it every year.”
During the works, the Supertram network will run a revised timetable, and services will operate as follows:
• Blue route tram services will run between Malin Bridge and Drake House Lane/Beighton at the normal frequency of up to every 12 minutes
o Services will not be able to operate between Drake House Lane/Beighton and Halfway – a replacement bus service will be in operation.
• Purple and Yellow route and Tram Train services will all run as normal.
