Edinburgh's Tram to Newhaven project has released a series of new images and timetable for works in the upcoming weeks.

Trams to Newhaven say the main construction works for the project are scheduled to be completed during 2022 but in the meantime there will continue to be disruption on the roads and pavements for local residents.

They released details of works ongoing this week in and around the city-centre, as well as the new pictures.

They released the shots on Twitter and show installation work at Leith Walk, the Shore tram-stop, track installation at Stevedore Place and construction ongoing at Melrose Drive.

And the latest updates on works revealed that from Wed March 23 they will be extending their site lines at Jane Street on Leith Walk.

This is to accommodate the further hard landscaping works and the arrangements are expected to be in place for approximately four weeks

On Thursday, March 24 a rail delivery is expected in the section of works near Stevedore Place.

To accommodate this, a small road closure will take place between 7pm and 10pm. During these operations vehicle access will be restricted.

Site working hours will be extended within the York Place section of works from Monday 21 to Friday, March 25.

From Monday at 8pm to Friday at 6am they anticipate low levels of noise as these works are required to accommodate systems infrastructure works to support the new tram network.

Construction works are ongoing on the south roundabout on Ocean Drive to Melrose Drive.

Pedestrian access is maintained, although may change at times throughout the phasing of works.

Bus stops currently situated on Melrose Drive are being relocated to the west of Ocean Terminal.

Edinburgh Live will bring you all the latest traffic and travel updates through the week.
