The Rochdale line will be closed between Rochdale Railway Station and Central Park and replacement buses will run.
This is in preparation for the opening of four new Metrolink stops in Oldham town centre. Test trams will be running and the overhead lines will be live.
Trams will continue to run between Central Park and East Didsbury via Victoria, and on the rest of the Metrolink network.
A replacement bus service will operate between Rochdale and Central Park. The replacement bus service will match the usual tram service pattern.
