As we reported yesterday, due to the incoming Danube tidal surge and the continuously rising water level, Budapest Public Road (Budapest Közút) closed a part of the lower quay of Buda and a part of the lower quay of Pest from 20:00 on Thursday, 6 June 2024. Several sections of the lower quay are forecast to be flooded today.
