Tram services between Wimbledon and Mitcham will be suspended next month while tracks are replaced.
Transport for London (TfL) has advised that the service will not run between Saturday, February 11 and Monday, February 20. Dundonald Road will also be closed while the work is carried out.
The work will involve replacing 750 metres of track between Morden Road and Merton Park, and replacing track and signals at the crossing in Dundonald Road.
Rory O’Neill, TfL’s Director of Trams, said: “Replacing the track and signals will reduce the need for further maintenance at these locations for many years to come and minimise future disruption for customers and local residents.
“In order to carry out our work safely and to keep the overall period of disruption to an absolute minimum, we need to close the Tram service between Wimbledon and Mitcham for the duration of the works. A bus replacement service will be in operation.”
TfL advises passengers to use the replacement bus service, which calls at Wimbledon, Morden Road and Mitcham tram stops only, or alternative transport. For more information, visit https://tfl.gov.uk/
