The embankments on both sides of the Danube in Budapest have been re-opened to traffic, Gergely Karácsony, the city’s mayor, said on Thursday, declaring that “we have taken our city back from the flood.”
On the weekend, the Pest side of the embankment will reopen to pedestrians and cyclists, Karácsony said on Facebook.

In another Facebook post, Karácsony wrote that the employees of the BKK are cleaning the tunnel of tram nr 2-2B-23. In the afternoon, they will conduct the static inspection, while at night they will reestablish the overhead lines and the signalling apparatus. Based on the plans, the service on the line will restart on Friday at dawn.
