Munich Transit: Tram Detours Extended as S‑Bahn Trunk Line Faces Weekend Limits

A mispositioned concrete slab at Maxmonument forced extra work.

Overview

  • MVG confirms longer diversions and bus replacements after crews found a 15‑year‑old load‑bearing slab at Maxmonument installed too deep for current standards.
  • Tram 19, Tram 21, and night line N19 remain rerouted through Sunday, September 14, with regular service set to resume on Monday, September 15.
  • Tram 16 continues to run only Romanplatz–Sendlinger Tor, with buses IsartorEffnerplatz, through Sunday, October 12, and is planned to return to normal on Monday, October 13.
  • Track and switch renewals between Prielmayerstraße and Elisenstraße finish as scheduled at the end of August, limiting ongoing impacts to lines that cross the Maxmonument area.
  • Deutsche Bahn restricts the Stammstrecke from Friday, August 29 at 22:30 to Monday, September 1 at 04:40 for overhead‑line and second‑tunnel works; outlets differ on whether only S8 runs or S7 and S8, so passengers should verify in DB/MVV apps and notices.
