Major traffic restrictions will begin in Bucharest on June 20th with the commencement of long-delayed work on the Basarab Passage, a key roadway. The project, completed 15 years ago, has remained officially unopened due to a lack of formal acceptance. These restrictions coincide with the start of the summer holiday period, potentially exacerbating congestion. Authorities have not yet detailed specific traffic management plans, but significant disruptions are anticipated. The completion date for the entire project remains unspecified, adding to commuter uncertainty. The passage is a crucial artery for the Romanian capital, and its opening is expected to alleviate traffic flow. The delay in opening has been a source of frustration for residents.
