A popular tram route in Mykolaiv was shut down due to CHP works

On Thursday, March 12, starting at 9:00 a.m., tram No. 11 will be temporarily suspended in both directions in Mykolaiv. The restriction is due to repair work being carried out by Mykolaiv CHP.

According to the press service of the Mykolaiv City Council, the work will completely block the traffic on this route. It will be known when the trams will resume running after the work is completed - this will be announced later.

Residents and guests of the city are asked to take into account temporary changes in the operation of public transport and plan their trips in advance.

Earlier, Intent wrote that Mykolaiv would receive 40 tramcars from the Swedish city of Gothenburg. These are M29 trams, which were previously used in the Swedish urban transportation system.

As a reminder, in December 2025, tram service was resumed in Mykolaiv on the route No. 3 ChSZ - 10th Military. Electric vehicles are running again according to their usual schedule.

Earlier in September, tram traffic in Mykolaiv was stopped for more than 400 minutes due to improperly parked cars blocking the tracks. The utility company emphasizes that irresponsible parking creates significant inconvenience to passengers and urges car drivers to be careful not to block public transportation.

The company reminded about the fines for the downtime of electric vehicles due to violation of parking rules:

UAH 1692 for a tram idle time;

UAH 1794 for a trolleybus idling.

Earlier, we reported on a case where a driver was fined over six thousand hryvnias for insufficiently tight parking, which blocked tram traffic in the center of Mykolaiv.

In particular, the city has initiated the reconstruction of the outdated rail and sleeper system. The project covers the renovation of almost 70 kilometers of tram tracks.

The project envisages the renovation of 69.6 km of tram tracks, most of which have been in operation since the 1970s. According to the description, the old rails and sleepers have already reached the end of their standard service life, which increases the risk of derailments, deforms tram bodies, increases noise and vibrations in nearby buildings, and increases the cost of emergency repairs.

The reconstruction includes the dismantling of dangerous sections, the arrangement of a ballast prism, the installation of modern rail and sleeper grids and switches, and the improvement of the roadway.
