The modernization of the tram line along the Exhibition Boulevard, Aviator Popișteanu Street, Puțul lui Crăciun Street, Dornei Street, and Clăbucet Street has started. The rehabilitation of the tram line over a 2 km length means modernizing the platforms and the contact network.
This investment is part of a broad process of 50 kilometers of tram lines modernization, which is absolutely necessary for efficient and sustainable public transport. Work is also underway to modernize tram line 5 connecting Baneasa Airport to the city.
