Important change in downtown Budapest from 2 November

The construction of the bicycle lane on Szent István körút at Nyugati Square and Jászai Mari Square will start on 2 November. The works are expected to last for three weeks.

For three weeks from tomorrow, 2 November, construction work will take place on Szent István körút at Nyugati Square and Jászai Mari Square in Budapest, the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) reported.

On the section between the Margaret Bridge and Nyugati Square, a cycle lane will be protected by bollards in the direction of Nyugati Square. Meanwhile, on other sections, shared lanes will be created to facilitate the movement of buses and cyclists, Pénzcentrum wrote.

The developments

After the development, two lanes will still be available for motorists between Nyugati Square and Jászai Mari Square. In connection with the development, which is a winning project of the community budget, the parking lanes on the side leading to Nyugati Square will be closed from 2 November due to the construction of a cycle lane on Szent István körút.
