From 12 to 16 January 2015 – Pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, chairlift

The reconstruction works have started on 12 January

The preparation for the Széll Kálmán tér reconstruction works have begun on 12 January 2015. Turning left from Margit körút to Krisztina körút is possible only in two lanes, while the right-turn lane has been closed due to the constructions. Since congestion may occur on Margit körút towards Széll Kálmán tér, please approach the square from another direction. A traffic island will be constructed at the pedestrian crossing on Krisztina körút, thus the lane turning left to Krisztina körút will be diverted.

The actual preparations for the reconstruction have also started at the inner pedestrian area of Széll Kálmán tér. The fountain and the traffic control buildings next to the platforms of trams 59 and 61 will be demolished. As a result, we will restrict some of the pedestrian areas of the square, however we will provide the main footpaths. The movement of construction machines is not affecting daytime traffic in the square.

For the period of the reconstruction of Széll Kálmán tér, we have placed BKK ticket vending machines in the container opposite the left-hand exit of the metro station.

Due to the reconstruction of Széll Kálmán tér, the implementer will remove the FUTÁR displays from the square soon. Current information on the services of BKK is available on futar.bkk.hu website or via smartphone application.
