Traffic adjustments are being made on Metro and Tram lines in Athens due to construction work, affecting service temporarily from February 24 to March 9, 2026.
In Athens, significant traffic regulations have been implemented on Tram Line 6 due to ongoing construction on Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, starting from February 24 until March 9, 2026. According to STASY, Tram services between 'Pikrodafni' and 'Syntagma' will now terminate at the 'Fix' station, running only between 'Pikrodafni' and 'Fix'. This change will affect passengers as the stops at 'L. Vouliagmenis', 'Zappeio', and 'Syntagma' will not be serviced during this period.
Additionally, on February 23, 2026, work commenced on the fourth phase of track replacement and the installation of a 5G network within the Athens Metro. These construction activities will lead to temporary adjustments in service hours, particularly affecting night operations, with some stations closing earlier than usual. Passengers are advised to prepare for these disruptions and seek alternative transportation options during the affected times.
These adjustments are part of ongoing infrastructure improvements aimed at modernizing transportation in Athens, enhancing service reliability and speed while upgrading the technology used in public transit systems. However, such projects often face challenges, including passenger inconvenience and operational disruptions, which local authorities must navigate to balance development with public transportation needs.
