The construction plans of a new tramline in Budapest, Hungary, have been approved by Minister of Transport and Investment Dávid Vitézy of Hungary—the minister announced on his Facebook page earlier this month.
The new public transport line will run between Szent Gellért Square and Budafoki Way, along the Műegyetem Quay, and cover around 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles).
The project will cost 32.2 billion HUF ($102 million), Minister Vitézy added. It will be reimbursed by the newly unlocked EU cohesion and recovery funds, making it one of the first government investment projects in Hungary to be covered by European funding.
The Minister also shared that the project is practically all set to go. As he put it, planning has been underway for many years, although the project was put on hold for several years. Now, however, the latest developments are no longer about new plans, but about the start of construction.
