Modernisation of the Tramway Network - Service Changes during September 2026: Works affecting lines 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 -14 and 19

Sep 7, 2026, 00:00 by Redazione

Ahead of the introduction of the new CAF Urbos trams, which will replace the historic 1940s vehicles and operate on the new tram lines currently under construction, we are upgrading the Nomentana electrical substation, which has supplied power to Rome’s tram network for many years. At the same time, ANAS will carry out works on the Tangenziale Est near Via Prenestina and Viale dello Scalo San Lorenzo. The resulting service interruption will also allow us to continue renewing tram tracks across the historic network and to start construction of the new tram terminus in Viale delle Milizie. The new terminus will help bring tram services back to the Prati area while allowing the works on Line C of the metro between Colosseo and Farnesina to continue.

Here are all the details of the affected routes, timings, and replacement stops.
