Traffic changes during the closure of Liberty bridge in Budapest
Change language:
As we worte before, the Liberty bridge will be closed to traffic on 24-25 June as well as on 5-6 and 12-13 August 2017, enabling pedestrians to take over the bridge.
According to press release, during the closure, instead of tramlines 47,48 and 49, passengers will have the services of the tram lines running on longer routes in Buda, of the modern trolleybus line 72 running to Fővám tér in Pest and of metro line M4 and of bus lines 7 and 133E between Pest and Buda at their disposal. The Liberty bridge will be closed to traffic during the above-indicated four weekends from 0:00 on Saturday to 24:00 on Sunday, during which the traffic light in Fővám tér will be operating in yellow flashing mode. Motorists going from Kálvin tér will have the chance to turn back ahead of the bridge or drive via Belgrád rakpart – Havas utca.
An other three summer weekends ( 24-25 June and 5-6 and 12-13 August), the Liberty bridge will be closed to vehicles and public transport, making it possible for pedestrians to take over the bridge. During these weekends, tramlines 47,48 and 49 will be out of service.
Is it also possible to paint yellow stripes on each step when using the metro?
I like to address the dangerous situation when you enter the metrostation of line 3 at Határ út. When you are older than the vision weakens and one cannot see each step clearly because it is all grey coloured. People might fall down and get injured. With a little help of the authorities this can be prevented.
