Existing works at Shandwick Place and Haymarket are being extended to include West Maitland Street from 5am on Saturday 24 March, with new traffic diversions being introduced to the local area.
The implementation of the latest phase of construction work, and associated traffic management, follows detailed engineering and construction planning by City of Edinburgh Council in co-operation with contractor Bilfinger Berger.
Edinburgh director of city development Dave Anderson said: "Work on the tram project is now taking place along the length of the tram route. The latest move to expand the site into West Maitland Street will give contractors access to the most flexible possible space, allowing tram work to be completed in the fastest possible time.”
