Busy Budapest bridge’s traffic changes significantly for 7 days

The revamp of the bike lane on Budapest’s busy Margaret Bridge continues, so the overpass’s traffic order will change between Thursday and next Wednesday.

The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) said they would close the exit leading to Margaret Island between 22 and 28 August. Therefore, you may travel to the island by car from the Árpád Bridge (located on the island’s northern tip).

Furthermore, traffic from the Pest side of the city will be able to use only one lane between the Danube bank and the Margaret Island exit. BKK added that you might walk or bike to the island from the Margaret Bridge even during the revamp.

Between the Buda Danube bank and the island exit, pedestrians and bikers can use the outer lane, Profitline wrote.

The restriction affects BKK buses as well. Bus nr 26 will commute only between the Göncz Árpád városközpont and the Centenáriumi emlékmű stations. Bus nr 226 will carry passengers between the Óbuda Island and the Göncz Árpád városközpont stations. It will touch the Zenélőkút station in both directions.

Trams nr 4-6 will stop on Margaret Bridge, but pedestrian commuting routes may change to and from the Margaret Bridge tram station.

To plan your journey, BKK recommends the BudapestGO app, updated with all changes.
