Reconstruction works of the overpasses at Flórián tér

The reason why renovation is required of the over 40-year old overpasses at Flórián tér connecting Szentendrei út and Árpád híd is that it could be used safely even in the upcoming decades. During the reconstruction works lasting from the spring of 2025 to the spring of 2026, not only will the road surface be rebuilt, but the defects in the concrete structure will also be repaired. Reconstruction works will result in significant traffic changes, however the reconstruction will take place separately on the overpasses, hence one of each will always be maintained for road transport.

Transport changes in road transport

Reconstruction works will result in significant traffic changes and temporary restrictions. Therefore, BKK would like to kindly ask you that in case you travel in that area, even if going to and coming from the metropolitan area, if possible, to use public transport during the reconstruction works thus reducing the traffic load in the area.

On 1 March (Saturday), the Southern bridge to Pest will be closed. From the day of which to the autumn period, traffic will be modified, as follows:

• Traffic will be provided on the Northern bridge, where passing through the overpass will be provided on one lane per direction.
• On the overpass, return of the traffic to Pest will be regulated by traffic lamps past the tram stop at Szentlélek tér, by dividing the tram track. BKK would like to kindly ask you not to stay long on the tracks, in case of traffic congestions, as this could hinder the service of trams.
• Passengers travelling on Szentendrei út towards Pest will have the chance to turn to Árpád híd on two lanes, with the temporarily-made U-turns in Pacsirtamező utca. In case you notice some hindrance to traffic at the entrance of the overpass, we would like you to please drive onto the bridge via the U-turn established after the Flórián tér junction instead of the overpass.
• To avoid the expected congestion at the overpass, it is worth approaching the city center from North Buda via Megyeri híd.
• From the direction of Pest towards Szentendre - road capacity will be reduced by one lane, and congestion is also expected, but those heading towards Szentendre can also travel through the junction under the overpass or choose Megyeri híd.
• From the direction of Bécsi út, the direct left turn option to Szentendrei út will no longer be available at Flórián tér, but it will be accessible via the U-turn at Pacsirtamező utca.
