Partial closures of Metro Line A in Rome from August to December 2023
by Adriana ruiz
The Rome Metro Line A will undergo some service modifications in August 2023 to allow for the completion of track renewal works, scheduled for the Christmas holidays. Partial closures of Line A will affect certain sections for a total duration of 14 days, from August 11th to August 24th. During these interruptions, an adequate shuttle bus service will be in operation.
Here are the dates and sections affected by the closures:
From August 11th to August 13th: The section from Anagnina to Subaugusta will be closed
A shuttle bus service (MA8) will be active between Subaugusta and Anagnina. Regular service will continue between Giulio Agricola and Battistini, with last runs at 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 9 PM on other days.
From August 14th to August 24th: The central section of the line will be closed, from Ottaviano to Arco di Travertino
Service will be active between Arco di Travertino and Anagnina, as well as between Ottaviano and Battistini, with last runs at 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 9 PM on other days. A shuttle bus service (MA15) will operate in the interrupted section.
Starting from August 25th
Service will resume on the entire line with the usual weekday closing time of 9 PM, until the first half of December, when service can be restored on the entire line:
– Sunday to Thursday, last runs at 9 PM, followed by substitute bus services due to infrastructure work
– Friday and Saturday: Regular service with last runs from terminals at 1:30 AM. The track renewal works for Metro Line A are part of the Giubileo 2025 projects and concern the final stretch to be worked on (Ottaviano – Battistini). These are essential yet extremely demanding interventions on the tracks, which have never been carried out efficiently in previous years and were only temporarily addressed. Carrying out these activities more efficiently, however, requires an extended period on the construction site, which is not compatible with the usual overnight closures.
Metro Linea A in Rome offers efficient connectivity throughout the city’s various neighborhoods, while also serving as a link to renowned attractions including the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps. Passengers can conveniently access these sites by disembarking at specific stations: Barberini station for the Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Spagna station for the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese, and Ottaviano station for the Vatican.
