Road and transport in Naples today, September 8st: closures and updates

Tuesday, September 8, 2026, will be marked by a national rail transport strike, which will run from 21:18 PM yesterday until 21:00 PM today. This will include possible delays and cancellations on regional trains, the Frecce train, and Line 2. Meanwhile, summer closures on Line 1, disruptions in the Phlegraean Fields, and nighttime construction work on the Tangenziale (ring road) will continue. Here's the full schedule for the day.

🟢 SUBWAYS

The summer closure of Line 1 continues: the Piscinola , Chiaiano, and Frullone stations remain closed until September 13th for railway track renovations, with ANM shuttle buses replacing the Piscinola–Colli Aminei route (approximately every 10 minutes).

Line 6 and Line 7 Soccavo–Monte Sant'Angelo , which returned to service on September 1st after the summer renovations, are operating as normal.

Traffic on Line 2 (Trenitalia) is at risk today due to the national strike: essential services are guaranteed between 6:00 and 9:00 am and 18:00 and 21:00 pm. The suspension of the Pozzuoli – Campi Flegrei route , which has been in place since June 21 due to bradyseismic phenomena and work on the Flegrea tunnel, remains in effect, with replacement buses.

On the Cumana line, the Bagnoli–Torregaveta route , which has been in operation since the earthquake of July 31st, remains closed, with a replacement bus service that also stops at the new former Cappuccini station. According to EAV, the entire Torregaveta–Montesanto connection will resume operations on September 11th , when the new Pozzuoli station opens. No new warnings were issued today for the Vesuvius Lines (delays of up to 40 minutes for some trains yesterday evening) or the Circumflegrea line.
