Travel alert: Repair work in central Prague will affect over 25 tram lines this summer

Summer maintenance work on many of Prague’s tram lines will disrupt 26 tram routes in the capital, with most of the changes affecting the city center and Holešovice.

Maintenance work will begin on June 29 and last indefinitely, though the majority of the work will be complete by early September.

Three major parts of Prague will be affected by the repair works. These are:

In addition to these three areas, trams will not run in Prague 4’s Na Zámecké Street, and the current route outage between Palmovka and Libeň Bridge to the east of the center will continue until further notice. 

Here is an overview of the tram lines that will be affected by the repair work, as outlined by the Prague Public Transport Company (DPP).

Historical, sightseeing lines 41 and 42 will also get a new route through the center to avoid the repair works.

Night trams 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, and 98 will also get new routes and diversions. 

A new route, number 35, will be in service from July 16 and call at Žižkov tram depot, Biskupcova, Olšanské náměstí, Hlavní nádraž, and Wenceslas Square.

Replacement bus line X25 will run in the Palmovka-Libeň Bridge area, and X35 – running until July 15 – will stop at the central Senovážné náměstí, Jindřišská, Wenceslas Square, and Hlavní nádraží stops.
