“Bucharest International Airport Rail Access Link Project (M6 Metro Line. 1 Mai – Otopeni)” continues to make steady progress, reaffirming its status as a project of public utility and national interest. In line with Government Decision no. 496/2017, the project aims to address mobility needs by expanding the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). Funding for the design and build civil works of the North Section is provided by the state budget and refundable external funds – a JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) external loan.
During March 13-14, 2024, Metrorex had the honor of hosting a visit from JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) officials, the financiers of the M6 Project, Lot 1.2. This visit included meetings with representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Metrorex, as well as representatives of the Contractors and the Supervisor of the two sections of the future metro line.
Metrorex General Director Mariana Miclăuș led the working visit to the construction sites, guiding the Japanese officials through the various stages of construction of the future stations. The event was also attended by representatives of the designated Contractors: ALSIM ALARKO – MAKYOL, responsible for the design and build of the civil works for Lot 1.1 – 1Mai-Tokyo (South Section), and representatives of Gülermak Ağir Sanayi Insaat Ve Taahhüt A.S. – Somet SA, the designated Contractor for Lot 1.2 – Tokyo – Otopeni Airport (North Section).
During the visit at the future Expoziției metro station, the representative of ALSIM ALARKO-MAKYOL presented the work plans and the executed guide beams. At the future Aeroport Băneasa metro station, the officials could observe ongoing construction activities, including the coordination of monitoring activities, the formwork removal from the washing ramp, and the supervision of the works. At the future Tokyo metro station, the ALSIM ALARKO – MAKYOL Contractor presented the progress of the works for the preparation of the drilled piles and diaphragm walls.
The new M6 Metro Line, a landmark project for Romania’s transportation infrastructure, will have a 14.2-km double-track route and serve 12 stations along the 1 Mai – Otopeni route. It will be equipped with 12 new, modern trains designed to provide efficient and comfortable transportation for passengers.
Through these continuous efforts and international collaborations, the Bucharest International Airport Rail Access Link Project (Metro Line 6. 1 Mai – Otopeni) is steadily advancing towards completion, bringing significant benefits to urban mobility and the economic development of the region.
