A view along the Smedley Viaduct from Collyhurst Road. The 19th century, former railway viaduct has been refurbished in readiness for the opening of the Manchester to Oldham phase of the Metrolink extension. This section, running along the abandoned railway corridor to Central Park in East Manchester was originally planned to open in spring 2011 (http://www.metrolink.co.uk/pdf/future_metrolink/latest_news_publicatios/10-0004_Link3Reprintlowres.pdf ) but that has now been revised to 2012 (http://www.metrolink.co.uk/futuremetrolink/oldham-and-rochdale-line.asp )
