Useful information about 1 Mai area

M6 Metro Line is a major urban infrastructure project for residents and visitors to the capital, from home and abroad.

We all want Bucharest to be a modern capital, with fluid, efficient and environmentally friendly traffic, however the construction site works also cause discomfort which we understand, we feel and we are trying to reduce as much as we can.

The work on the future stations will result in the 14.2 km long underground double track linking Gara de Nord (the North Railway Station) with the Otopeni Airport and will uncover 12 new metro stations along the way.

Preparations began on August 24 for the works to connect the M6 Metro Line with the current 1 Mai metro station.

WHAT ABOUT TRAFFIC?

Road traffic has been diverted on the basis of the Traffic Deviation Plan approved by the Traffic Technical Commission of the Bucharest City Hall, the Transportation Department, the Bucharest Streets Administration and the Bucharest Traffic Police.

The new operating diagrams of the traffic light systems at the intersection of Calea Griviței and Mureș Street and Ion Mihalache Blvd. and Clăbucet Street and the road signs are being applied in accordance with the legislation in force, and the Traffic Brigade is supervising the smooth traffic flow in the area. Please follow the information communicated by the STB, the Bucharest City Hall and the Bucharest Traffic Police.
