Trams to Newhaven

The Trams to Newhaven Project’s latest construction programme update issued on 30 September 2022 confirms that the project continues to be on schedule for a spring 2023 open for service date and within the £207.3m agreed as part of the Final Business Case. The last construction programme update was issued in July 2022.

As the project enters the final year of major civil work ahead of testing and commissioning this winter, a review of the specific completion dates for the remaining sections has been carried out. This has resulted in some changes affecting certain sections due to various unavoidable factors such as complex utilities diversions, archaeological finds and an industry-wide shortage of materials, though this is not expected to affect the final completion date.
