Third-year students from the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest – Faculty of Railways, Roads and Bridges took part today in a study visit to the Metro Line 6 construction site, as part of an open lesson organised by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure in partnership with Metrorex.
The visit was initiated by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, as part of its efforts to strengthen collaboration with academia and to support the training of future specialists in the field.
Together with Mariana Ioniță, Secretary General within the ministry, the students received detailed technical information about the project and were encouraged to develop their skills through ongoing dialogue with industry professionals.
The visit took place on the site of the future Gara Băneasa metro station, where the participants had the opportunity to observe the actual construction processes at close quarters. Representatives of the contractor gave technical explanations about the works under way, including the operation of the TBMs “Sfânta Maria” and “Sfânta Ana”, used to build the tunnels.
The site specialists presented the current stages of the project and the technologies used, giving the students a practical perspective on how large-scale underground infrastructure works are carried out.
The meeting enabled a valuable exchange of ideas between students and professionals in construction and in public transport investment. The discussions ended on an optimistic note, with participants expressing confidence in the projects that will help improve urban mobility.
Metro Line 6 will be the first direct high-speed link between Gara de Nord and Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni), integrating air, rail and road transport into a modern and efficient system.
The project includes:
• 14.2 km of double track
• 12 modern stations
• 12 new trains
The line will offer a fast, safe and comfortable solution for residents and tourists alike, contributing to the development of an essential mobility corridor between the airport and the centre of the capital.
