Tram Track Renovation Works
In order to maintain the uninterrupted operation of the tram lines, DKV Debreceni Közlekedési Zrt. will carry out track renovation works in several phases between June 15 and July 20, 2026.
TRAM TRACK RENOVATION WORKS
The company will perform rail replacement at three locations, totaling 228 track meters, before and after the Kossuth Square tram stop, as well as in front of number 23 Péterfia Street. At the Kossuth Square tram stop, the existing cracked asphalt track surface will be replaced with colored concrete pavement between the two rail replacement sections. On the Bem Square and Simonyi Street track sections, the company will carry out track regulation works over a length of 144 track meters at five locations.
PHASE I: WORKS OUTSIDE OPERATING HOURS (June 15 – June 20, 2026)
From June 15, 2026, until approximately June 20, during the first phase of the renovation, the track regulation works will take place after 6:00 PM and at night after the service closure, while maintaining tram traffic on Bem Square and Simonyi Street. The tram service will be uninterrupted again from the start of operations the next day, as no work will be carried out during the day.
Please note that the works may cause noise disturbances, so we ask for the patience of the residents in the affected area!
