Transportation Development in Luxembourg, Mobility Plan 2035
The Mobility Plan 2035 highlights a scalable and sustainable tram system, with numerous extensions beyond the T1 line currently in service. The goal is to serve transit hubs, which act as key connection points between Luxembourg’s various modes of transportation.
Improved service to the Kirchberg district
Tram Line K2 will double service to the Kirchberg district along Boulevard Adenauer between LuxExpo and the train station. It is expected to begin service in the fall of 2027.
Work has already begun on the section between the Pfaffenthal/Kirchberg transit hub at the Pont Rougeand the European School on Boulevard Adenauer.
The project also includes the creation of a bike path to promote sustainable mobility, lined with some 400 trees.
Expansion to the new Hollerich neighborhoods
The tram will also serve the Hollerich neighborhood and its new districts to improve its connection with the rest of the city. This line, named HOA, is expected to be operational in 2027. It will likely be extended to the Bouillon P+R parking lot.
A transit hub to the west
A new tram line is expected to connect the Bouillon parking lot to the CHL – Luxembourg Hospital Center in 2032, via the Route d’Arlon and the new Wunnquartier Stade neighborhood, to a new West P+R. This project is also part of the redevelopment of Place de l’Etoile to create a new public space.
Luxembourg–Esch-sur-Alzette Rapid Tram
A new rapid tram line is also expected to be launched between the Cloche d’Or neighborhood and the city of Esch-sur-Alzette by 2030–2031. Passengers will be able to travel at 100 km/h and reach both cities with a stop in Leudelange to serve the industrial zone.
This service will make it possible to travel from Belvaux to Findel in less than an hour.
This new tram line will be accompanied by a bike path and improvements to the corresponding highways. A carpool lane will help ease traffic congestion during rush hour, along with a dedicated bus lane.
