Zagreb Could Get New Section of Tram Line for First Time Since 2000

By 17 September 2019

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 16th of September, 2019, the idea, according to the City of Zagreb's administration, has already been decided upon, and now the likely incredible amount of paperwork on the matter, worth about 300 thousand kuna, must be resolved.

First, they will build an additional line, expand car parking availability, and then ''pull'' a new track from Florijan Andrašec street to Trešnjevački trg (square), Vecernji list writes.

If they manage to hurry up with the project, it could be the first few brand new metres of track to be constructed in the City of Zagreb since the year 2000, when the last piece of track that was constructed reached Prečko, but for now, Zagreb is just looking for a company to conduct the main part of the implementation project for the reconstruction of the track on Vukovarska street along the aforementioned part of the tram tracks.

The work would involve about five hundred metres or so of road. The decision, according to Zagreb's city government, has already been made, and now the previously mentioned papers, all of which are worth around 300,000 kuna in total, must be deal with and things resolved in order to obtain the necessary building permit for the planned works.

Following the issuing of the building permit, the works will then take place in three phases, and in the first phase an additional track will be constructed on the south side of Vukovarska street. It will also house a new southern pavement/walkway and an accompanying bike path, as well as move some of the utility infrastructure installations.

After that, during the second phase of the works, a car park will be built, which will be expanded by 35 additional parking spaces. The third phase will be the construction of a new water supply system.
