Exciting Updates: Renovation Works at Spagna Subway Station
The heart of Rome, the central Spagna subway station on the Metro A line, has finally reopened its doors after a much-awaited 80-day closure for extensive renovation works. This renovation comes in preparation for the Vatican’s Jubilee Year 2025, bringing a fresh new look and enhanced functionality to the beloved station.
The initial phase of renovation involved rebuilding platform walls, waterproofing, replacing floor surfaces, and restoring beautiful mosaics. And the good news is, the renovation journey is far from over – works will be ongoing at Spagna until the end of November. So, travelers are kindly asked to bear with the temporary inconvenience for the promise of an improved commuting experience.
The upcoming phase of renovations will include cleaning ceilings and walls, installing a new ticket office, and adding greenery to the external façade, all while ensuring minimal disruption to commuters as the station remains open.
While Spagna celebrates its reopening, another Metro A station, Furio Camillo, is undergoing works and is set to welcome back passengers on 7th November. Similarly, renovation activities are in progress at Cipro, catering to visitors of the Vatican Museums.
And that’s not all – Rome’s Metro A line continues its maintenance schedule, closing early from Sunday to Thursday, with buses bridging the commuting gap after 21:00. But worry not, as on Friday and Saturday nights, Metro A extends its service until 01:30.
Furthermore, the entire tram network in Rome has temporarily transitioned to buses until 3rd November, facilitating a massive redevelopment project at the Porta Maggiore tram depot.
To add a twist to the tale, the reopening of Spagna metro station precedes a 24-hour public transport strike, affecting subways and buses across Rome from 08:30 to 17:00 and again from 20:00 until the end of the service.
