PHOTOS: Budapest’s spectacular downtown avenues near the Danube closed
Due to the tremendous precipitation that hit Budapest, and Hungary in recent days, the water level of the River Danube has risen significantly. Therefore, the Pest and Buda lower embankments have had to be shut down for traffic.
This, in turn, is anticipated to pose challenges for traffic in Budapest over the next few days, post the Christmas period, given that the Danube lower embankments in Budapest serve as one of the most bustling traffic routes in the capital.
Consequently, the lower embankments were closed to traffic yesterday evening. The water management directorate forecasts a peak in Budapest at 660 centimetres this Wednesday, as reported by infostart.hu.
While the lower embankment necessitates closure at 645 centimetres, it’s worth noting that even at 600 centimetres at the Margaret Bridge, there is a potential danger for cars. Stay tuned for updates on this fluid situation.
