Important: Major traffic change on busy Budapest road leading to the airport!
Due to roadworks, one of the busiest roads of Budapest will operate as a unidirectional road from the 8th of July. This change affects Üllői Road between Béke Square and the District 18 towards the city centre. The change will affect public transportation as well.
As Index reported, the roadworks and the one-way traffic will go on until the beginning of November. According to BKK, the change will affect buses on this route as well. Bus 193E to Mednyánszky Street and Market Central will run on a modified route. Instead of taking Üllői Road to Gyömrői Road, it will run on the route leading to Ferihegy Airport. Therefore, it will not stop at Szarvas Csárda Square and Béke Square in Pestszentlőrinc. However, trams will run the same, undisturbed.
