Tram lines Rechteroever

Tram line 11 is running again on its previous route. Tram lines 3, 5, 9, and 15 will follow a new route on Rechteroever during the works.

What?

During the tunnel renovation, there are no trams running between P+R Melsele and Opera metro station. The 4 tram lines that normally also run on Linkeroever (3, 5, 9, and 15) follow a new route on Rechteroever during the works:

  • Tram lines 3 and 15 have been merged into the new (temporary) tram line A3.

  • Tram lines 5 and 9 have been merged into the new (temporary) tram line A9.

Why the letter A in the name? It obviously refers to 'Antwerp,' but it also indicates that it's an Alternative tram line.

Tram line A3 (merging tram lines 3 and 15)

  • Tram lines 3 and 15 have been temporarily merged.

  • Tram line A3 follows a new route between P+R Merksem and P+R Boechout.

  • The new tram line no longer heads towards Opera metro station but will connect Astrid and Diamant metro stations.

You can find the schedule for tram line A3 in our app and our route planner. Schedules are also posted at the stops.

Tram line A9 (merging tram lines 5 and 9)

  • Tram lines 5 and 9 have been temporarily merged.

  • Tram line A9 follows a new route between Wijnegem and Antwerp-Berchem train station.

  • The new tram line no longer heads towards Opera metro station but will connect Astrid and Diamant metro stations.

You can find the schedule for tram line A9 in our app and our route planner. Schedules are also posted at the stops.

Resumption of tram line 11

  • Tram line 11 has resumed its familiar route between Antwerp-Berchem train station and the Melkmarkt.

  • Modern trams are being used, capable of carrying more passengers.

  • Line 11 once again provides an above-ground connection from Central Station, via Rooseveltplaats and along Meir, to the historic heart of Antwerp.

  • Trams on line 11 will run with increased frequency during the works. Even after the works, line 11 will continue to operate.
