Economx, citing a statement from Budapest transport operator BKV Zrt. to the Hungarian news agency MTI, reported that track construction will run from 9 to 27 November. Services on tram routes 28, 37 and 62, as well as bus routes 99 and 217E, will be altered. Replacement buses will operate along the affected sections.
Traffic lights at the Nagy Fuvaros utca junction will flash amber while the work is under way.
First stage affects the Blaha Lujza tér side
From 9 to 18 November, construction will take place on the Blaha Lujza tér side of II. János Pál pápa tér. During this stage, drivers approaching along Népszínház utca from Fiumei út will only be able to travel as far as the square.
Szilágyi utca will become one-way towards Kiss József utca. A temporary terminus for tram 37 will be set up in Dobozi utca, which will consequently become one-way along its entire length towards Orczy tér. Traffic heading from Baross utca towards Teleki László tér will be directed via Lujza utca.
A bus lane will be marked out on Fiumei út. A temporary stop for replacement buses will also be installed on Teleki László tér, just beyond the junction with Dobozi utca.
More directions change during the second stage
From 19 to 27 November, the works will move to the Teleki László tér side of the square. Népszínház utca will then only be accessible from Fiumei út as far as Vay Ádám utca.
Drivers approaching from Dologház utca will not be able to continue towards Nagy Fuvaros utca after reaching Népszínház utca. They will only be allowed to turn onto Népszínház utca towards Blaha Lujza tér. From Nagy Fuvaros utca, traffic will also be restricted to a left turn towards Blaha Lujza tér.
Two designated routes will connect the area south of Népszínház utca with II. János Pál pápa tér. One runs via Karácsony Sándor utca, Népszínház utca, Alföldi utca and Kun utca. The other follows Nagy Fuvaros utca, Népszínház utca, Kiss József utca and Szilágyi utca. From the square, areas south of Népszínház utca can be reached via Kun utca.
In brief, the closure will run in two stages from 9 to 27 November. Tram routes 28, 37 and 62 and bus routes 99 and 217E will be altered, with replacement buses serving the affected sections.
