Depot Hard rebuilding
filed on: 11.08.2020 (11th Aug 2020)
The rebuilding of Depot Hard (that is the depot by Escher-Wyss-Platz) will lead to total closure of the depot for trams from January 2021 for the duration of the work. This will lead to a pinch in terms of stabling space (on top of the present vehicle shortage).
The depot is to be totally rebuilt with a residential block to be built above the tracks on the rear part of the site. The landmark art-deco main building with its integrated appartments is being retained, but as far as I can make out the more inconspicuous oldest part of the depot, dating to the Industriequartier Strassenbahn, is being demolished.

The river side of the site. I understand the track here will be removed and a riverside walkway created.
The Hardturmstrasse side of the site. I believe the building with the arched windows in the middle of the first view is part of the original Industriequartier Strassenbahn depot.
The rear of the depot where the new residential block will be built.
