The stops--“Dernier Sol” and “Lycee Bonnevoie” are covering 1.2km in addition to the exisiting network connecting Luxembourg City’s central station to the Luxexpo in Kirchberg. Five years after the first part of the tram was opened to the public, the line now covers a total of 10km, 17 stations and 6 exchange platforms, where passengers can hop onto the train or bus.
Local political figures, such as Luxembourg city’s mayor Lydie Polfer (LSAP), head of the parliament Fernand Etgen (DP), finance minister Yuriko Backes (DP), or François Benoy, accompanied mobility and public works minister François Bausch during the inauguration.
But, as Bausch in April, this is far from being the end of the line for tram works. should have grown out of the network, connecting the capital to the Findel airport, the Esch-Schifflange district and the Bouillon park-and-ride, among others.
Upcoming construction works will connect the new Lycée Bouneweg station to a platform at a 3.7km distance called “Stadion”. Five new stations and 2 multimodal stops will be spread across the path. Works on the first part--connection the Stadion stop to the Lycée Vauban, will start on 19 September, while the second half--between Bonnevoie and Vauban--will begin in December.
Preparations are also on the way for the rails linking Kirchberg and the Findel airport. With some disturbances on the highway expected in spring 2023, the branch should be completed sometime after 2023.
