Reconstruction of metro line 3 has not stopped during pandemic
Change language:
The global outbreak of COVID 19 has not yet affected the construction on metro line 3; demolition work is currently being done on the middle section of the line.
At the beginning of March, the upgrading of the two middle section stations has begun as well as reconstructions of the part between the Kőbánya and Kispest stations. The wall and ceiling coverages have already been torn down, and the structure in the incline is currently being broken down, according to Webrádió.
The cabins have been stripped off of their characteristic furnishings, advertisements and info boards. Architectural and mechanical demolition work has also begun on operating areas which will not disturb the safety of the metro traffic, BKV (Budapest Transport Privately Held Corporation) has announced.
The reconstruction of the middle section will proceed in July by the closing of the Corvin-quarter and Semmelweis Clinics metro stations, according to plans.
The reduced traffic and decreasing number of people on public transport due to coronavirus actually benefit construction and provide more ideal work conditions. Reconstruction of water, sewage and hydrants is proceeding faster than scheduled.
