Rome redevelops Porta Maggiore tram depot.

Rome continues to replace its trams with buses this summer to facilitate a major redevelopment of the Porta Maggiore tram depot ahead of the Vatican's Jubilee Year 2025.

From 5 August to 15 September, lines 3 and 8 will be replaced by buses along the entire route; line 5 will be served by bus 519 in the Via Prenestina/Serenissima-Piazza dei Gerani section; and line 19 will be served by various buses and by tram 14 on the Via Prenestina/Serenissima-Porta Maggiore route.

Tram lines 2 and 14 will run regularly during this time.

The move follows extensive works to renew tram tracks and infrastructure across the city.

The transformation of the Porta Maggiore depot is designed to accommodate the new 33-metre trams, the city says, with works set to conclude in early December.

Several tram lines will be completely or partially replaced with buses during the first phases of works, with the entire network being served by buses from 16 September until 3 November.

From 4 November to 1 December, lines 2, 5 and 8 will be replaced by buses along the entire route; line 3 replaced by buses between Trastevere station and Porta Maggiore; line 19 will be served by buses between Centocelle and Porta Maggiore and between Valle Giulia and Viale Giulio Cesare/Metro Ottaviano. Line 14 will run regularly.

The entire tram network will return to normal service from 2 December, according to the city's transport councillor Eugenio Patanè, who said the works are "fundamental to allow public transport to return to its full efficiency".

Rome's public transport network is undergoing major works this summer, with several subway stations closed for renovation and half of Metro A to close for maintenance from 10 to 25 August.
