Works and service updates
What is changing on the network: closures, engineering works, timetables and fares, with dates and sources.
This is where we keep track of real changes to the service: closures for works, timetable changes, fare decisions and construction on the extensions. Every entry carries the period it refers to and a link to the source, so you can check for yourself. This is not a press review: we only publish what actually changes something for people using the metro, and we explain what changes. For service status right now, the reference is still ATAC's MyAtac app.
Works and service updates
Lepanto closed until 30 August: trains passed without stopping
For infrastructure maintenance, Lepanto station was closed: Line A trains ran normally but passed through without stopping, and for Prati and via Cola di Rienzo you had to get off at Ottaviano or Flaminio. What it means for you: the station has been back in service since 31 August 2026.

Seven Line C stations under construction, including a second Line A interchange
As of July 2026, seven new Line C stations are under construction. Among them is a second interchange with Line A at Ottaviano, which will relieve San Giovanni and link the eastern side of the city directly with the Vatican. What it means: when it opens, many journeys that today have to go through Termini will change completely.

The €2 ticket: announced, not yet in force
The ATAC business plan approved by the city council provides for a €2 BIT from July 2026. The rise, however, has not taken effect: the fare must be formally approved by the Lazio regional government, which has said it is against it. What it means for you: today a single ticket still costs €1.50, as published by ATAC. We will update this page and the fares page the day that actually changes.

Line C towards Prati: work begins on the T2 Venezia–Mazzini section
Between Colosseo and piazza Venezia there is only one new stop, Venezia, under construction since June 2023. On 25 February 2026 work began on the next section, T2 from Venezia to Mazzini (Chiesa Nuova, Piazza Pia, Ottaviano and Mazzini stops), with opening planned for 2036. Work on the T1 section, from Mazzini to Farnesina, followed on 23 July 2026. What it means for you: expect worksites and altered traffic in the historic centre for several years.

Colosseo and Porta Metronia open: Line C reaches the historic centre
The central section of Line C entered service with two new stations: Colosseo/Fori Imperiali — now the line's provisional terminus — and Porta Metronia. From that day the eastern suburbs have been linked to the Colosseum without changing lines. What it means for you: Colosseo is now the Line B / Line C interchange, and San Giovanni the Line A / Line C one.
