In August, the Turin subway stops. “The dates”, as the municipal councilor for Mobility clarifies Clear Leaflet“they are still in the definition phase“. The most likely hypothesis is that the stop to the line 1 last about four weeks, as happened last year.
Switching from analog to digital system
The intervention is always the same as the 2023: work is needed to switch from the analog “Val” signaling system to the digital “Cbtc” one. To limit inconvenience for commuters and passengers, the choice was made to carry out the activities during the hottest period of summer, when the Piedmont capital empties for the summer holidays.
More buses
And with the subway stopped, the passage of buses on the surface will be activated, which will follow the route from Benghazi to Fermi. “After last year’s test – explained Foglietta, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the new cycle path on Corso Verona – we want to make the service even more efficient, enhancing it“.
Metro to Cascine Vica
Translated, the will is to have, compared to 2023, more buses connecting the southern and western areas of Turin. The goal of the August closure is to complete the transition from analog to digital before 2025, when the new four stops up to Cascine Vica should be operational: Certosa, Collegno Center, Leumann Village and Cascine Vica.
Cleaning the subway
Normally, work on line 1 is done at night, when it is closed. In this case, however, it is necessary to close the metro during the day for about a month. And during the stop, maintenance work will also be carried out inside the metro stops, starting with a general cleaning.
