Bucharest’s subway operator Metrorex inaugurated two subway stations on Friday, March 31, namely the Straulesti and Laminorului stations on line 4.

The Emergency Situations Unit (ISU) gave its approval to open the circulation after carrying out controls at the new stations this week.

The company initially announced that it would open the two stations on December 19, last year. However, this didn’t happen, and transport minister Razvan Cuc recently said that the two stations would be inaugurated by the end of March.

The segment Parc Bazilescu - Lac Straulesti, which is the last phase of Metro line 4, has a total length of 2.1 kilometers. The project’s total value is EUR 252.4 million.

The new metro stations will be Laminorului and Straulesti, part of the metro line connecting the Bucharest railway station Gara de Nord to the Straulesti lake area in Northern Bucharest.
