NAPLES – The Circumvesuviana is shut down for construction. On Sunday, November 16, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the railway line between San Giorgio a Cremano and Torre del Greco will be completely closed to allow for the installation of the new overpass at the Ercolano station, part of the redevelopment project included in the "Smart Station" program. The project, financed with FCS 2014/2020 funds for a total of €28 million, aims to modernize the entire network and improve station accessibility.
The construction of the overpass—which will replace the current underpass—requires the use of heavy-duty machinery and the work must be carried out safely and in daylight. For this reason, EAV has decided to concentrate the closure in the early afternoon, a time slot considered to have low traffic demand.
During the suspension, all trains to Sorrento and Torre Annunziata will be limited to Torre del Greco and will not run on the Naples–Torre del Greco route. Trains from Naples to Poggiomarino will be limited to San Giorgio, while those from Poggiomarino will stop in Torre Annunziata. The 13:20 PM Campania Express from Sorrento and the 14:22 PM Campania Express from Naples have also been canceled.
To ensure passenger mobility, a replacement bus service will be available between San Giorgio and Torre del Greco, Naples and Torre Annunziata, and Naples and Torre del Greco via the motorway. The Ercolano construction site represents one of the most significant projects in the renewal plan for the Circumvesuviana, which aims to transform the main stops into modern, accessible, and digital hubs. The Ercolano Scavi station, in particular, is scheduled for approximately €6,5 million in work. All updates on schedules, changes, and replacement bus stops will be available on the official website. eavsrl.it.
