Flórián Square flyover renovation could start soon
“In case of a successful procedure, the visible work will start in the second half of the year, as a result of which the flyover will be safe to use for decades to come,” BKK reported on Facebook.
The flyover, which ensures the daily passage of tens of thousands of vehicles, plays a key role in Budapest’s transport system, as it connects transit routes that cross the city’s borders, BKK wrote. They pointed out that the reconstruction of the important flyover could start this year.
Earlier, Ambrus Kiss, Deputy Mayor of Budapest, also said that the renovation of the Flórián Square flyover could start as early as this autumn. According to Pénzcentrum, the renovation of the Flórián Square flyover was put out to tender in 2018, but the only bid received was too expensive, so the work could not start. In March 2024, part of the funds were made available and now the call for tenders has been published.
