Banner displayed on the roadworks at Trafford Wharf Road, for the new Metrolink Trafford Centre extension. The 5½ km extension will run from the existing Pomona Metrolink stop, through Trafford Park, Europe’s largest trading estate, terminating at the Trafford Centre and will have six new tram stops (https://tfgm.com/maps/trafford-park-line-route route map). Construction work began in late 2016 and services are expected to launch in 2020. As well as the all the usual tramway infrastructure, such as tracks, stops, and equipment to hold the overhead lines that power the trams, major works will also take place to divert utility services, such as water, gas, electricity and telecommunications, away from the tram route.
