Closures on Rome's Metro Line A
As of this post, the Metro stops at Repubblica, Barberini and Spagna are STILL closed for repairs.
I thought since we're now in May and FTer's visits to Rome will be on the rise, this should be posted in its own thread.
To check the current status of these stops, here's the link to ATAC's Metro Line A, Check the listing of stops on the left side of the page.
Currently seen on that left side are stops Spagna, Barberini and Repubblica "Temporaneamente Chiusa" (Temporarily Closed). Below is a screenshot of that:

Aw, geez! It wasn't a huge problem for me back in March, when this closure had just happened (walking to the Flaminio station wasn't too out of the way for me). But it will be a headache for me if this is still the case in June. Thanks for the update and the link. ^ I'll be sure to keep tabs on this.

The Spagna Metro stop is now opened
iapetus, prego. I had posted last night after reading recent articles that indicated that the closures could continue and could affect those reading this forum.
But - I just looked on ATAC's twitter feed, and the Spagna stop opened at 6pm tonight! However, the Barberini and Repubblica stops remain closed. I had actually considered the Barberini closure to be the one that could affect the most FTers, given the amount of hotels in the Via Veneto area, and given that the Waldorf Cavalieri shuttles its guests to Piazza Barberini. But I'm happy that our own iapetus is now in good shape.
After seeing the tweet I looked at the link I posted above, and that page is still showing the Spagna stop as closed. So I guess the best way to check the status of the other two stops is via ATAC's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/infoatac?lang=en
And here are the 2 recent articles I saw on the topic (both in Italian), note in the first article there's a picture of the metro closure with signs saying: "Una parola sola, vergogna. Roman people apologize to tourists"!

Sections of Rome's underground Metro A line will be closed at weekends in June and July, with more extended closures in August, to allow for maintenance works.
Rome mayor Virginia Raggi said the work had been "expected for years" and was necessary "to improve the service and guarantee greater safety for commuters."
The metro will be closed on the following dates, with substitute buses in operation:
On weekends from 8 June to 14 July, circulation will be interrupted between Subaugusta and Anagnina. Line A will remain in operation regularly on the Battistini-Subaugusta section.
