The future Tokyo metro station, part of the SOUTH section of the future M6 Metro Line, has been visited again by another group of students from the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, accompanied by their professors.

The visit has had an academic purpose, as part of the practical activities included in the universitary curriculum.

The specialists at the construction site presented the ongoing works to the students and provided on-site explanations about the technologies used.

The technical visit has also included access to the two tunnels where the two TBMs, “Sfânta Maria” and “Sfânta Ana,” are operating.

The students’ questions have been answered directly by the technical staff at the construction site, and the meeting has given the specialists building the metro the opportunity to supplement the information that the professors have conveyed to the students during this technical visit.

We are excited about the genuine and constant interest shown by technical university students in the construction site of M6 Metro Line, and we find that these visits always demonstrate a keen interest on the part of the students, who are the future specialists in the domain.

As of Tuesday, 08.10.2024, traffic will resume on lane 1 of the roadway ramp between General Ștefan Holban Street and Selgros Cash & Carry.

Also on this date, lane 2 will be closed to vehicle traffic, for phase 2 of the site activities under the execution contract “Bucharest International Airport Rail Access Link Project (Metro Line 6. 1 Mai-Otopeni). Design and Build – Civil Works for Lot 1.1: 1Mai-Tokyo” at the future Aeroport Băneasa metro station, on the alignment of the future M6 Metro Line, South Section.

The restriction and reconfiguration of public traffic on Șoseaua București – Ploiești for phase 1 and phase 2 of the works for the future M6 Metro Line are in accordance with the Traffic Plan approved by the Joint Approval of C.N.A.I.R. and I.G.P.R.

Road signage is carried out according to legal requirements.

The implementation of the diversion from lane 1 to lane 2 will be carried out between 07.10.2024, 23:00 – 08.10.2024, 06:00, by temporarily diverting traffic on the IKEA Bridge, under the supervision of the Traffic Brigade.
