Work was carried out simultaneously at several sites as part of one of Budapest’s key rail transport projects.
The new tram line, which is largely covered in grass, starts at Szent Gellért Square and runs along the banks of the Danube, passing the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE).
In the Swietelsky Vasúttechnika project, everything must be rebuilt several storeys deep so that the track can finally be replaced with new rails.
With the restoration of the original high-roofed structure, the station building will once again become a prominent feature of the Béke Avenue skyline.
The development is closely linked to the ongoing vehicle procurement project, the introduction of new CAF trams.
The closed testing period has ended. Regular freight traffic began early this morning on the Budapest-Belgrade railway line, announced the CEO of Group MÁV in a post on his Facebook page.
The upgraded track sections, new connecting track, electrified connection and modern loading terminal will serve the growing capacity needs of the industrial park.
