Modernisation of the tram line between the capital's two central hubs

Due to tram track and road surface renovations, trams will not be running between Kálvin Square and Deák Square from Saturday to next Sunday, and traffic will also be restricted on the public road at Astoria, according to Budapesti Közlekedési Központ (BKK) on 6 August.

They wrote: the most necessary interventions will be carried out by BKV Zrt. in the track zone and Budapest Közút will be carried out on the public road in order to eliminate surface defects at the junction that could lead to accidents.

New Astoria pedestrian crossings to be preserved

Due to the works, trams 47, 48 and 49 will not run between Kálvin tér and Deák Ferenc tér. In addition, lane restrictions will be in place on the Rákóczi út-Kossuth Lajos utca axis in both directions before the Astoria junction, and a temporary bus lane will be set up on Múzeum körút and Károly körút.

The new pedestrian crossings completed last year will remain intact and can be used safely during the renovation, they said.
