Major Zagreb Intersection to Close for Month-Long Reconstruction

Zagreb is set to close a key intersection at Kralja Zvonimira and Šubićeva streets for a month-long reconstruction project. The closure, beginning July 14 and lasting until August 15, will impact traffic flow significantly. Drivers will be unable to travel through Šubićeva Street from north to south and vice versa. Detours will be in place according to a temporary traffic regulation plan.

This modernization of one of Zagreb's most important tram hubs is crucial for upgrading the aging infrastructure. The project involves a complete reconstruction of the tram infrastructure, necessitating the closure to ensure safety and efficiency. The investment is valued at 1.1 million euros. The city administration stated that this work is part of a broader initiative to renew Zagreb's tram network, which has suffered from underinvestment for decades.

The reconstruction will also affect public transport. Tram line 7 will follow a revised route, and an auxiliary bus line 602 will operate between Trg žrtava fašizma and Borongaj on a adjusted schedule. These temporary changes aim to minimize disruption while the essential upgrades are carried out. Upon completion, the project is expected to enhance the safety and reliability of the tram system, reduce future emergency interventions, and provide a higher quality infrastructure for years to come.
