No trams will operate between Market Street and Shudehill tram stop while essential track replacement work is carried out from Wednesday, 24 July until Monday, 19 August.
Passengers travelling between Piccadilly station and Victoria – in either direction – can board a replacement bus service or change trams at St Peter’s Square. A signed walking route will be put in place between Market Street and Shudehill tram stops.
Further information can be found on the Bee Network website. The works are part of a major coordinated programme taking place this summer to maintain and improve the Metrolink system to ensure tram journeys in Greater Manchester remain safe, reliable and accessible.
Shudehill will also be closed to traffic where the Metrolink tracks cross the road between 24 July and 5 August. A signed diversion route will be put in place for drivers and cyclists. Access to Manchester Arndale multi-storey car park will be maintained at all times during the works and businesses will be open as usual.
During this closure some bus services will be diverted, with customer information provided at affected bus stops. Customers can also download the Bee Network app for the latest information and to track the location of Bee Network buses.

Pete Sommers, TfGM’s Metrolink Director, said: “Thousands of journeys are made on Metrolink every day of the week, which is why we’re always working to keep our passengers safe and Greater Manchester moving.
“During these essential works, we will be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum with replacement bus services and signed diversions for vehicles and pedestrians.
“I would encourage customers to plan ahead – check our website for the latest travel information before setting off – and leave plenty of time for their journeys.
