Eight Tram Lines in Žižkov to be Diverted for a Week

Public transport in Žižkov will face significant disruptions over the next eight days due to a major water main failure.

Starting tonight, eight tram lines that normally run through Seifertova Street will be diverted, with normal service expected to resume on Thursday, August 29.

The issue arose from a water main breakdown at Sladkovského náměstí, affecting water supply to Vlkova and Seifertova streets. As a result, tram services on these streets will be suspended from 8 PM tonight to allow for necessary pipe repairs.

The affected lines include 15, 24, 26, 29, 34, 35, 90, and 95. Here’s how the routes will be altered:

• Line 15: Will be rerouted from Náměstí Republiky, passing through Karlín, Palmovka, and Biskupcova, before reaching Želivského and Olšanské hřbitovy.
• Line 29: Will bypass its usual stops to head directly from Krejcárek to Palmovka and Kobylisy.
• Line 34: Will take a detour from Libeňský most to Bílá labuť, then proceed to Masaryk Railway Station and Viktoria Žižkov.
• Line 35: Will operate on a modified route passing through Václavské náměstí, Jindřišská, Masaryk Railway Station, and Bílá labuť.

To help ease the disruption, the transport company is providing replacement bus services labeled X9, X15, and X95.

Passengers are advised to check the company’s website for further details on the changes and alternative routes.
