As part of the Amsteltram project, the station and its adjacent tram platforms were demolished to rebuild the stop exclusively for tram operation. On 25 May 2020, the new Zonnestein tram stop was opened. The stop is located in a pit below street level, and resembles a station with a centre platform; passengers use stairs and a glass-walled lift to access street level. Bridges above the stop carry automobile traffic over the tram line via a roundabout.[3]
