Bucharest modernizes century-old sewage network near North Station alongside tram line works

Bucharest is undertaking a significant modernization of its aging infrastructure, focusing on the nearly century-old sewage network near the North Station. This essential upgrade is being carried out concurrently with the rehabilitation of the tram line on Bulevardul Dinicu Golescu.

Apa Nova, the city's water and sewage operator, is replacing 364 meters of sewage pipes and approximately 100 meters of water pipes. These works are proceeding in parallel with the broader efforts to modernize the tram infrastructure along the boulevard. The initiative aims to improve the reliability and capacity of the city's underground utilities.

Beyond the water and sewage systems, the project also involves the installation of new poles to support the tram network and street lighting. To enhance aesthetics and safety, electrical networks have already been buried underground, eliminating the need for visible overhead cables. This comprehensive approach ensures that the area's infrastructure is brought up to modern standards.

The Bulevardul Dinicu Golescu works are part of a larger project to modernize 1.8 kilometers of tram infrastructure, encompassing several key streets. The city administration plans to continue these modernization efforts, including tram tracks, water, and sewage systems, on other streets within this lot until the end of next year.
