Green Light for €234 Million Tram Extension North of Florence

The new T2 extension will connect Florence Airport with the University of Florence’s science campus.

Florence is preparing for a spell of severe weather expected from Thursday afternoon until 6 p.m. on Friday, August 21, 2026.

The solution should require fewer repairs, but it also means replacing real stone with a material designed to imitate its appearance.

Train services through the Florence railway hub remain suspended until Wednesday morning, with replacement transport operating for passengers.

Supporters say their preservation would not interfere with the construction of Florence’s new tramway line.

Train traffic will stop from late 26 July until 30 July as RFI installs a new railway overpass.

The project aims to improve public transport in the city’s north-west, reduce travel times and support wider urban regeneration.

The cost of a single journey on Florence’s buses and tramway will increase from €1.70 to €2.

Six stops on the viali will be equipped with covered shelters, seating and digital services, after a redesign agreed with heritage authorities.
