Single line to be added after completion of promenade scheme
A single horse tram track between the War Memorial and the Sea Terminal will be added on Douglas Promenade at a later date.
The Department of Infrastructure will complete the regeneration scheme on the promenade for Easter next year without the line in place.
However, an area of soft landscaping will be included along the tram corridor, so the tramway can be completed in the future.
Political member with responsibility for highways Tim Baker MHK says it's vital businesses on the prom get through next year's peak tourist season without interruptions:
