From 15 June 2025, the centre of Bozen/Bolzano will undergo significant changes to local public transport, particularly in the area around Bozen/Bolzano railway station. These changes form part of the urban redevelopment plan associated with the new WaltherPark project.
What changes will there be?
The area around the station is set to undergo a complete redesign. The main changes include:
- The transformation of Bahnhofsallee/Viale della Stazione into a pedestrian zone
- The removal of the roundabout in front of the station, which will require bus lines to be reorganised
These changes have already been implemented to comply with the new traffic and infrastructure conditions.
The main changes for urban and regional buses will take effect on 15 June
- Buses will no longer pass through Bahnhofsallee/Viale della Stazione; however, the affected urban and suburban bus services will be diverted via Garibaldi-Straße/Via Garibaldi and Südtiroler Straße/Via Alto Adige.
- Urban services 1, 7A, 10A and 10B will only stop on Südtiroler Straße/Via Alto Adige, bypassing the railway station.
- The station's stops and platforms will be renamed and reorganised.
Permanent changes to bus stops
- The “Südtiroler Straße/Via Alto Adige” stop is now the terminus for services 3, 5 and 12.
- The Waltherplatz/Piazza Walther stop has been cancelled due to its proximity to the Südtiroler Straße/Via Alto Adige and Dominikanerplatz/Piazza Domenicani stops.
A replacement service is available for the Bozen/Bolzano–Meran/Merano railway line
From 15 June to 9 August 2025, the railway line between Bozen/Bolzano and Meran/Merano will be closed.
A replacement bus service (B200) will operate, with the following changes:
- Buses on the B200 route will stop at platform F of Bozen/Bolzano station.
- Suburban services 7B and 15 will temporarily use platform G,
- Suburban services 110 and 111 will stop at Südtiroler Straße/Via Alto Adige instead of the station. Breaks will take place at the Sparkassenstraße/Via Cassa di Risparmio stop. Services 1, 3, 5, 7A, 8, 10A, 12, 14 and N35 will use a temporary stop on Museumstraße/Via Museo instead.
