There will be a temporary closure on a section of the tram line for three days in September to allow for essential maintenance.
Edinburgh Trams say this is a part of its planned programme of renewals.
From the start of service on Saturday 27 September until the end of service on Monday 29 September, trams will not run between Picardy Place and Haymarket to allow for the replacement of track points at Shandwick Place.
During this time, tram stops at St Andrew Square, Princes Street and West End will be closed. However, services will still run on either side of the closure between Edinburgh Airport and Haymarket, and Newhaven and Picardy Place.
The tram operator is working closely with Lothian Buses and Scotrail to minimise inconvenience for customers until usual service is restored, offering Ticket Acceptance agreements on certain services.
Marilena Papadopoulou, Edinburgh Trams Head of Projects & Renewals, said: “These works are part of a wider programme of asset renewals which allow us to maintain and modernise the system, and we’re doing all we can to keep the city moving once they are underway.
“Members of our team will be on hand at key locations and at closed stops throughout the temporary shutdown to help customers complete their onward journeys.
“We ask customers to allow a little extra time for their journeys and would like to thank them in advance for their understanding while we undertake these necessary works.”
