Rome carries out major works on Metro A amid push to complete projects in time for Jubilee Year 2025.

Rome has closed the Furio Camillo subway station on the Metro A line for renovation works, from 19 August until 7 November, ahead of the Vatican's Jubilee Year 2025.

Subway trains will pass through Furio Camillo without stopping, with the city advising commuters to use either Ponte Lungo and Colli Albani stations or take the bus lines 590 and 671.

The renovation project was originally scheduled for next year but was brought forward in order to complete it in time for Jubilee Year when additional millions of visitors are set to arrive in Rome.
