The fifth Bucharest metro line, connecting Drumul Taberei and Pantelimon is  due by the end of next year, recently said Catalin Homor, general manager with Bucharest metro operator Metrorex, quoted by Agerpres.

The tunnel has been 80% built, whereas the stations’ structure reached 95-98% completion. The auction for finishing work is ongoing. The deadline to complete work for the metro line no.5 is 16 months.

“We hope that no uncontrollable and unforeseeable events interfere, so we can meet deadlines and put the line into operation at the end of 2016," said the Metrorex general manager.
