Hide AdNetwork Rail is installing a new, higher bridge at College Road to allow the overhead lines that will power tram trains to be safely fitted underneath.
Engineers will also bring the signalling system which controls tram train movements into operation.
An 18-week road closure is already in place on College Road until Friday, August 18 to allow safe completion of the works.
Access to the station will be maintained during this time, except over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend, when the station is closed.
