The renovation of the Flórián Square overpasses has entered the demolition phase

The renovation of the Flórián Square overpasses continues with demolition work, and motorists coming from Pest should avoid the Árpád Bridge, according to an announcement by the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) in a statement on 24 November 2025.

As reported on Friday, the northern bridge at Flórián Square was closed, and demolition and dismantling work began on Monday. After that, any defects in the reinforced concrete deck may become visible. The southern bridge was closed on 1 March, and unexpected defects necessitated significant additional work. This has changed the schedule for the renovation of the overpasses. It can be assumed that the contractor will discover similar conditions on the northern bridge.

- they added.

The general construction of the Flórián Square project is being carried out by KM Építő Kft. with the cooperation of HE-DO, as we regularly report. The implementation plans were prepared by FŐMTERV Mérnöki Tervező Zrt..

During drilling and demolition work, specialists

• The old asphalt pavement is removed to a thickness of 10-12 centimetres across its entire width, after which
• remove the waterproofing from the reinforced concrete track slab, and
• The surface of the track slab is cleaned with machines in preparation for further work.

They recommend using public transport.

The second phase of the renovation of the Flórián Square overpasses will also involve traffic restrictions. The Árpád Bridge exit after the Buda bridgehead will be narrowed to two lanes for a short section next to the work site, which will significantly slow down traffic. According to the announcement, those travelling from Pest to Buda via Árpád Bridge should expect longer journey times.

The capacity of the Árpád Bridge and the Flórián Square junction towards Buda and North Buda is lower than in the first phase of the renovation, therefore BKK advises motorists to avoid the Árpád Bridge if possible when travelling from Pest.
