The extension of the Manchester Metrolink network to the airport is planned to open in 2016. The line will leave the South Manchester Line just after the St Werburgh's Road stop and cross land between the buildings of Chorlton High School and Mauldeth Road West, then running along the dual carriageway and Hardy Lane to a river crossing near Jackson's Boat. Preliminary work was underway in this area, mainly moving services and sorting out drainage.
