Tram works finally begin on £10m guided busway
TRAM work has finally started on the city's guided busway – five months later than planned.
The 10 million busway was closed to traffic in November but a series of delays resulted in bus passengers facing congested roads and gazing in frustration at the empty busway.
The Fastlink route, a two-lane stretch of road from Stenhouse to Broomhouse, opened in 2004, promising a "fast, modern bus service that will speed past traffic congestion".
But the off-road section will now be closed and converted to allow trams to run on it.
