Temporary Suspension of TRAM Alicante between Hospital Vila and Benidorm due to Modernization Works
The railway service of TRAM d'Alacant will experience a scheduled interruption on the stretch between Hospital Vila and Benidorm stations starting from November 24, with an estimated duration extending until mid-December next month. This measure responds to the improvement works that include track duplication and full electrification of the route, representing a significant advancement in the modernization of the Costa Blanca transportation infrastructure 🚆
Alternative Transportation Service during the Works
To ensure essential connectivity during this construction period, a replacement bus service has been implemented to maintain communication between the affected localities. This service will cover the main stops along the route, although it has some important limitations that users must be aware of to properly plan their trips.
Details of the replacement service:- The bus route will connect Benidorm, Cala Finestrat, Hospital Vila, Costera Pastor, and Creueta
- The Terra Mítica stop will be excluded from the replacement bus service
- Regular Terra Mítica travelers must head to the nearest stations with active service
The track duplication and electrification works represent a crucial investment to improve the capacity and efficiency of the entire TRAM line on the Costa Blanca.
Complementary Improvements in Accessibility
In parallel with the main works of duplication and electrification, this suspension period will be used to carry out significant improvements in the accessibility of the affected stations. These actions reflect the ongoing commitment to inclusivity and modernization of public transportation services in the region.
Scheduled accessibility actions:- Installation of a new elevator at the Hospital Vila station
- Facilitation of access for people with reduced mobility
- General improvement of the user experience in all intervened stations
Temporary Impact and Future Prospects
While the trains remain inactive on this stretch, passengers can use the alternative bus service, although without the characteristic experience of the railway journey. This temporary situation, while it may cause some occasional inconveniences, will allow enjoying a more modern, efficient, and accessible service in the future for all TRAM users on the Costa Blanca 🚊
