Bucharest Undergoes Major Infrastructure Upgrade and Flood Mitigation Project
What happened
Bucharest is replacing the structural slab of Unirii Square, a reinforced concrete platform that separates the road and park surfaces from underground utilities. This project is synchronized with the installation of bypass pipelines for the Dâmbovița River to mitigate local flooding risks. The concrete framework is expected by the end of 2026, but full restoration of unrestricted traffic is slated for the first half of 2027.
