Stop closed notice on bus shelter, Merrill Street
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.

Merrill Street closed for Manchester Metrolink extension construction
Merrill Street, which is part of the A662 road, lies on the route of Metrolink's new tramway to Droylsden, which is due to open around Spring 2012. Funding has now been granted to extend it further from Droylsden to Ashton-under-Lyne, but that section will open later. The route passes through Merrill Street, where the trams will run in the street with other traffic. The other section where this will happen is along a length of Ashton New Road. When photographed in early May 2010, most of Merrill Street was closed to allow construction of the track. Preparatory work was being done, but the rails had not been laid in this section.
