Trams in Avdiivka

The Avdiivka tram (Ukrainian: Авдіївський трамвай, romanized: Avdiivskyi tramvai) opened 23 August 1965.

[1] Still in Ukraine no other tram line exists that was built to connect residential areas with a large industrial enterprise.

[1] In the early 1970s it was planned to extend the tram line to Donetsk, works to this end did start, but the project was never finished.

[1] By late March 2015 tram traffic was completely stopped due to artillery bombardments and power failures.

[1] As of 2023, Avdiivka itself has been a frontline city for more than 9 years: thus it has been almost completely destroyed and most of its inhabitants have been evacuated.
