Trams to the Enlightenment due to repairs will change routes

On the Avenue of Enlightenment began the repair of tramways between Svetlanovsky Avenue and Rustaveli Street. This is a large-scale section with a length of more than 3.5 kilometers (in single-track terms): specialists do not just change the rails, but completely update the infrastructure. This is reported by the press service of Smolny.

The last major repairs were made here in 2007 - almost 20 years ago. The wear and tear was serious: due to the low level of landing sites, it was uncomfortable for passengers with limited mobility, the elderly and parents with wheelchairs.

During the work, trams in the north of St. Petersburg were transferred to temporary traffic patterns: the four routes (No 38, 51, 57, 100) were sent to the detour. It is important to take into account that the restrictions are valid from 05:30 on November 15, 2026 to 01:00 on May 16, 2027.

For passengers, bus route No. 240 has been strengthened: during peak hours, buses will run with an interval of 6 to 13 minutes.

In 2024, the neighboring segment has already been updated - from Engels Avenue to Svetlanovsky Prospect. After the completion of the current work, the tram line will be completely updated throughout the highway.

Earlier it became known that St. Petersburg is testing a system for running trams without a driver.
