Prague’s transport network will see several changes in the coming months, including the reopening of a long-closed metro station and the future shutdown of another for major reconstruction.

The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) plans to reopen Českomoravská station on Metro Line B on March 20, more than a year after it closed for extensive repairs. The station has been out of service since January 2025.

Work at the station took longer than expected because its structural condition was worse than initial surveys suggested. The city is aiming to reopen the station in time for the World Figure Skating Championships, scheduled to take place at the nearby O2 Arena from March 24 to 29.

While one station prepares to reopen, another will soon close for a much longer period.

The Hradčanská station on Metro Line A is now expected to close at the beginning of next year for a large reconstruction project. Earlier plans suggested the closure could start this year, but Prague officials decided to postpone it.

Deputy Mayor for Transport Jaromír Beránek said the city wants to wait until the reconstruction of Flora station, also on Line A, is completed before shutting Hradčanská. Flora is expected to reopen at the turn of November and December.

Once the closure begins, Hradčanská is expected to remain out of service for about 11 months while the station undergoes modernization. Preparatory work is set to begin in the second half of this year, although passengers should not see any immediate restrictions.

Prague’s metro network will also face several shorter interruptions this year, particularly on Line C, where infrastructure upgrades are underway.

Track work will require a suspension of metro service between Chodov and Pražského povstání from April 3 to 6 and again from September 26 to 28. The operator is replacing sleepers along this section.

Further closures will follow as part of the modernization of signaling systems. Metro trains will not run between Kobylisy and I. P. Pavlova from May 8 to 10, and between Nádraží Holešovice and Pražského povstání from July 4 to 10. Replacement buses will operate during all planned closures.

Despite these works, the reconstruction of the ceiling slab at Florenc station on Line C, which began in 2022, will not cause additional closures this year. The project is expected to finish in December.

Surface Transport Will also Face Disruptions.

The Prague transport company plans to suspend tram service between the National Theatre and the intersection of Lazarská and Spálená streets from July 18 to August 10 due to track work.

Another major interruption will affect Vinohradská Street, where trams will not run between the intersections of Jana Želivského and Starostrašnická from April 18 to July 7. The closure is linked to the construction of a new tram line connecting to Malešice.

Additional restrictions are scheduled later in the summer. Tram service between Nuselská and Vladimírova streets and the Spořilov turnaround will be suspended from August 11 to 31, with replacement buses operating along the route.

Further works in September will involve the reconstruction of the Nádraží Podbaba and Spojovací tram turnarounds, which will also require temporary closures.
