Tram route 3 (Antwerp)

The Antwerp premetro tram route 3 connects Merksem with Zwijndrecht.

History

Tram 3 is one of the oldest tram lines in Antwerp. Originally, it ran on the route from Zuidstation - Centraal Station - Schijnpoort - Merksem.

Colour

This line's colour on maps is yellow.

Route

14,5 km (40 min, 22 km/h) via Bredabaan (Merksem) - Frans de l'Arbrelaan - Burgemeester Gabriël Theunisbrug - premetro Northern branch (stations Sport, Schijnpoort, Handel, Elisabeth, Astrid) - premetro Western branch (stations Opera, Meir, Groenplaats, Van Eeden) - Blancefloerlaan - Verbrandendijk - Dorp Oost - (park) - Dorp West - Beversebaan - Park&Ridezone Melsele Kruispunt.

Future

During the construction work to increase the height of the Burgemeester Gabriël Theunis Bridge (between 2010 and 2011) it will not be possible to run trams between Merksem and Sportpaleis stations.

In the distant future, the line might be extended to Beveren (to the west) and Brasschaat (to the east).
