Evening hours see a shortened tram line 10 route
Temporary Shortening of Tram Line 10 in Dresden Due to Track Maintenance
Tram users in Dresden will experience a temporary change in service on line 10 from August 19 to August 21, 2025. The reason for this change is due to track maintenance works on the tram-only track on the Messe ring.
The shortened route will start from Striesen, go to the Friedrichstadt Hospital, continue via Friedrichstraße to Waltherstraße. During the specified dates, the tram line 10 will not operate beyond Waltherstraße. The shortened route will be in effect from 8:30 PM to 11:30 PM.
No precise details on the nature of the maintenance or cost estimates are available in the searched sources. However, it has been confirmed that the repair process used is called build-up welding, where multiple welds are placed side by side and then ground smooth. This repair process aims to extend the lifespan of the tracks. The costs for the repair are estimated to be below 10,000 euros.
To ensure minimal disruption, the repair work will be conducted at night. An alternative bus service, "EV10", will run from the Friedrichstadt Hospital to the Messe Dresden and back during the same period. This service will provide an alternative mode of transport for those who rely on tram line 10 during the affected hours.
It is worth noting that related tram and track construction information around Dresden for August 2025 primarily concerns other lines and ongoing construction impacting line 9 and 7, suggesting that minor or provisional works on line 10 might not be detailed publicly or separately.
The Dresden Transport Authority will handle the repair work without external assistance. The repair work on the worn-out tracks will be conducted to ensure the safety and longevity of the tram system in Dresden.
