Overview

  • Walls at Prager Straße have been repainted and foundations installed for scaffolding enclosures at the staircases.
  • Crews are preparing to plant wild vine along retaining walls to deter graffiti and improve aesthetics.
  • The Altstadt district council has allocated €45,000 to fund the provisional maintenance during a lull created by Postplatz track renewal.
  • Since the Carolabrücke failure, the stop has handled an additional 8,000 passengers daily, accelerating the need for upgrades.
  • City planners and Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe are advancing a comprehensive 2027 rebuild, complicated by the lack of alternative tram diversion routes.
