Prague, August 28, 2024 — Commuters in Prague should prepare for significant disruptions to tram services between Lazarská and Jindřišská from Monday, September 2, until Saturday, September 28. These changes are due to essential maintenance work and upgrades to the tram infrastructure, including the installation of new track crossings.

Details of the Service Disruption

The maintenance work will impact several key streets and intersections along the tram route, leading to partial and complete closures in different sections throughout the month:

• September 2 to September 27: Tram operations will be suspended along Vodičkova and Jindřišská streets, from the Palackého intersection (ending approximately 100 meters after the intersection with Václavské náměstí in both directions). This is necessary for the installation of track crossings.
• September 27 to September 28: Full closure of tram services along Lazarská, Vodičkova, and Jindřišská streets, from the Lazarská x Spálená intersection to the Senovážné náměstí track crossing. Both directions will be affected.
