Hasselt – Maastricht tramway
The Hasselt – Maastricht tramway is a proposed fast tram system linking Hasselt, Belgian province of Limburg and Maastricht, Dutch province of Limburg. The project is part of the Spartacusplan of Belgian Limburg, proposed by the Belgian transport company De Lijn, with the aim to improve the province's transport links. The tramway was originally proposed to open in 2017..
Because a bridge would need to be reconstructed, tram services are not going to reach Maastricht station in the first place, but instead terminate at Maastricht Mosae Forum.
The tramway will run on a combination of new and old railways, and will facilitate an easier connection in a northeasterly direction between Maastricht and Antwerp, as current rail services from the Dutch province to Belgium are solely in the southerly direction of Liège-Guillemins.
