The planned extension of the Metrolink network to Manchester Airport will see trams running along the centre of Mauldeth Road West and Hardy Lane, continuing to a river crossing near Jacksons Boat. The line is scheduled to open in 2016. When this photo was taken works were ongoing to divert utilities at the junction of Hardy Lane and Barlow Moor Road. This entailed Hardy Lane being closed off at that point. Traffic was being diverted along Cundiff Road, where a point closure near Barlow Moor Road had been temporarily removed.
