The major roadworks referred to in the notice relate to diversion of utility services, and the construction of a Manchester Metrolink tramway along Merrill Street. The spelling of Merrill Street on the notice is not the usual one. Despite the new tramway running along Merrill Street, there will be no tram stop in this street. This is one of the drawbacks of new tramways in the UK. One of the ways they cut travelling time, is by spreading out the stops more thinly than bus services. This is fine if you are young and/or agile, but not such fun if you're not. Image
