[3] Storgata was constructed near the defunct tram station of Brugata, which closed in late 2019 for repairs.

Trams first ran through the street of Storgata in October 1875, as part of the Gamlebyen Line to Gronland.

These preceded the electric trams that started operating in Oslo in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Trams only went up to towards the north (i.e. Grünerløkka, Rodeløkka and Sinsen), after the Gamlebyen Line was shifted to run through Biskop Gunnerus gate in 1960.

The street of Storgata was renovated and rebuilt between November 2018 and June 2021, spanning a three year period.
