The repair of tram tracks on Prague 1’s Spálená Street will mean that trams will not run between Karlovo náměstí and Lazarská Street between June 19 and June 29. This will cause several tram diversions, affecting over 15 tram lines. Two new tram lines – 32 and 33 – will be introduced to deal with the disruption. 

Most diverted lines will run along the Vltava River by the embankment. Notably, lines 21 and 24 will be canceled in the area altogether rather than being diverted.

There is some good news: seperate, large-scale repair work near Prague’s Masarykovo nádraží – affecting over 20 tram lines – that began in late April and was due to end in late June will instead finish on June 19 (a total of 10 days early).
