The project connects the current tramway through Piazzale del Verano with Tiburtina Station. The new route branches off from the junction of Piazzale del Verano with Viale Regina Elena and develops along the direction of Via Tiburtina, using the existing fast lane. 

The new section, 1.3 km long, will have a great impact from a transport point of view, as it will connect the tram network with the city's second railway station.

It will be possible to put the section into operation regardless of the availability of the new rolling stock, as it will all be equipped with an overhead contact line.

The intervention is part of the Rome Capital PUMS (Sustainable Mobility Urban Plan) approved in February 2022 and is included in the Metropolitan City of Roma Capitale PUMS approved on 13/12/2024
