The Tampere Tramway is being expanded in phases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The decision to build the Pirkkala\u2013Linnainmaa tramway line of the Tampere Tramway was made on 21 October 2024, and construction began in December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first phase<\/strong>, the Tampere Tramway Pirkkala\u2013Linnainmaa Alliance will construct tramway sections from Sorin aukio to Partola and from the Kauppi campus to Ruotula. The aim is to start tram services to these temporary terminal stops in August 2028. This phase will also include significant modification works at the Tampere Tramway depot located in Hervanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implementation of the second phase<\/strong> is subject to securing state funding. In this phase (2028\u20132032), the Pirkkala\u2013Linnainmaa Alliance is scheduled to build the sections from Partola to Suuppa and from Ruotula to Linnainmaa. Tram services to Suuppa and Linnainmaa could begin in early 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
