Tram Service Halted on Libeň Bridge Due to Structural Concerns

Starting today, tram services on Libeň Bridge in Prague are suspended until further notice.

The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) has introduced replacement buses running both directions along the affected section between Dělnická and Palmovka.

The decision comes as a precaution due to the deteriorating condition of the bridge, which could become unsafe in the current cold weather.

The replacement bus line, X25, has been extended to cover the route Palmovka – Libeňský most – Dělnická – Tusarova. Several tram lines are also experiencing changes:

• Trams 1 and 25: Now terminate at the Výstaviště roundabout after departing from Dělnická.
• Trams 6 and 14: End at the Holešovice roundabout. Passengers at Nádraží Holešovice can switch between these lines, as each will reverse direction upon arrival.
• Tram 27: Originally added as a detour during the closures of Line 17, this route is now canceled, with its connections reverting to Line 17.

The tram suspension aims to prevent a repeat of earlier incidents.

At the start of this year, the Technical Road Administration (TSK) was forced to abruptly close Libeňský most due to worsening structural integrity exacerbated by freezing temperatures.

The bridge will only reopen to trams once TSK completes its planned construction and maintenance on the broader Libeňské soumostí complex.

Commuters are advised to follow updates from DPP and plan their routes accordingly.
