Although reconstruction is still in progress in the southern section, with the closure of the metro stations of both Arany János utca and Ferenciek tere on March 7, 2020, the renovation of the central, downtown section of the blue metro line has officially begun.
By closing both Arany János utca and Ferenciek tere metro stations, the reconstruction of the last downtown (middle) section of the so-called blue metro line will begin.
Although the travelling public will first see the changes in traffic on March 9th - as trains are passing through these metro stations without stopping - reconstruction work will begin on March 7th with the official transfer of workspaces and the designation of construction sites.
Reconstruction of metro line M3 continued in the first month of the year, with some of the stations and their surroundings clearly changing.
