Major repairs to Bucharest’s Basarab Passage, a key infrastructure point in the capital city, began on June 20th, prompting significant traffic and public transportation disruptions. The Bucharest City Hall announced that drivers will face lane reductions, with traffic temporarily limited to single lanes on the passage’s ramps. Several STB (Bucharest public transport) bus lines will be either suspended or rerouted during the repair period. Authorities anticipate these disruptions will last for several months while infrastructure is remediated. The project aims to address existing issues with the passage’s structure and ensure its long-term stability. Motorists and public transport users are advised to plan alternative routes and allow for extra travel time. Further updates will be provided as the repair work progresses.
